After 25 years at Bayern Munich, Thomas Müller is leaving the club this summer.
The FIFA Club World Cup in the United States from 15 June to 13 July will see the 35-year-old make his final appearance for Bayern.
“It’s clear that today is not like any other day for me. My 25 years as an FC Bayern Munich player will come to an end in the summer. It’s been an incredible journey, shaped by unique experiences, great encounters and unforgettable triumphs," said Müller.
"I feel immense gratitude and joy that I got to make this career with my beloved club. The special connection to the club and our fantastic fans will always remain. What I want as a farewell should be clear: titles we can celebrate together, and moments we’ll remember fondly for a long time. We’re going to give our all in the coming weeks to bring the league title back to Munich and reach our coveted ‘Finale Dahoam’. Let’s do it together!”
FC Bayern president Herbert Hainer commented:
"Thomas Müller is the definition of a Bavarian fairytale career; he grew in Bavaria and with Bayern. From Ammersee to the Allianz Arena, as far as Asia and America. Nobody has won more Bundesliga titles, and 33 trophies in total so far speak volumes. He ranks among the most outstanding personalities in FC Bayern history."
Thomas Müller has won 33 trophies with Bayern and is the club’s record appearance maker with a total of 743 competitive matches.
