Bayern plan talks with ´one of a kind´ Muller as Eberl proposes salary cap

Bayern Munich will soon hold talks with “one of a kind” forward Thomas Muller over a new contract, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.

Speaking at a press conference to mark Bayern’s 125th anniversary, sporting director Max Eberl also proposed the notion of a salary cap to curb wage inflation across Europe.

Muller is one is several high-profile players who will be out of contract at the end of the season, alongside midfielder Joshua Kimmich, winger Leroy Sane and defender Eric Dier.

Having come through the club’s youth system, Muller has made 738 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 247 goals.

He has won 32 trophies including two Champions League crowns and 12 Bundesliga titles with the Bavarian giants, but has only started 11 matches this season.

Having played a diminished role this campaign, the 35-year-old has been touted for an exit, but Eberl says no decision has been made on his future.

“We will talk with Thomas, and then a decision will be made regarding the new season,” Eberl said.

“Thomas is Bayern Munich, he’s one of a kind. He lives for football and always wants to achieve everything.”
