That spurs me on. For me, the number one priority was to extend at FC Bayern – and the club felt the same way.” After penning the new contract, he added, “I’ve been with FC Bayern for a good two-thirds of my life now, so you can’t say that the club and I are just along for the ride – we fight for each other. This club is not just any old employer for me. It’s my passion. I’m happy that I’ll be here for two extra years, and I’ll give everything on and off the pitch.”
The CEO of Bayern Munich, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “I’m pleased that Thomas Müller has extended his contract by a further two years until 30 June 2023. I would like to thank Thomas and his advisor Ludwig Kögl for the very trusting and fair talks.”
