Will Thomas Müller (36, Bayern Munich) wear a yellow uniform?

German 'Bild' reported on the 13th (Korean time) that 'Thomas Müller received an interesting offer from Sebastian Kehl after facing Borussia Dortmund.'

Bayern drew 2-2 with Dortmund in the 29th round of the Bundesliga 'Der Klassiker' on the 13th. Bayern's emblematic veteran midfielder Thomas Müller likely played in his last classic wearing the Bayern uniform, starting and playing 81 minutes while assisting the equalizer.

After the match, Müller encountered Borussia Dortmund Director General Sebastian Kehl (45) during an interview, and Kehl jokingly asked, 'Is there any way to take Müller to Dortmund?' Müller responded cheerfully, 'Then the 'Yellow Wall' would be surprised. I wouldn't know whether to throw beer or roses.'

This scene was captured during a broadcast interview, and when Christian Falk, editor of the institutional sector for Bild, asked, 'Did you actually receive an offer?' Müller explained, 'No, it was not an offer. He immediately said, 'Players from Bayern often struggle at Dortmund.'

Separately, the revelation of the reason why Müller must leave Bayern has sent shockwaves through German football. German 'Sport1' reported on the 12th that 'Bayern's decision not to renew Müller's contract also included financial reasons.'

Uli Hoeness, honorary president, said, 'If Bayern's financial situation were the same as three years ago, the decision regarding Müller might have been different. We clearly had to reduce expenses, and there wasn't much money left in the accounts,' acknowledging that financial difficulties were the background behind not being able to retain the legend.

Müller is an iconic player who has been with Bayern for 25 years. Joining Bayern's youth team at the age of 10, he has since played as a regular since the 2009-2010 season, winning the UEFA Champions League twice and lifting a total of 33 trophies. He holds the club record for the most assists with 274 assists and scored 247 goals in 743 matches, also crowned assist king in the Bundesliga four times.

Müller extended his contract with Bayern for one year during last season, and the current contract expires after the June FIFA Club World Cup. He wished to renew his contract, but Bayern decided not to propose a renewal due to the club's financial burden.

In this regard, Sport1 pointed out that 'the decision not to renew Müller's contract shocked Bayern fans greatly. Letting go of a legend like this is undoubtedly a problem,' and 'Sky Sports' quoted Oliver Kahn's statement saying, 'Bayern is currently failing to maintain trust and honor.'

Müller accepted his farewell calmly, stating, 'The journey of 25 years will conclude this summer. It has been a time filled with amazing experiences and great moments, and I will still do my best for the league title and the double.'
