According to reports, Müller’s current contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season, and the club’s management has decided not to offer him a new deal. This means he will leave the Allianz Arena after 17 years in just a few weeks.

German newspaper Bild reported that after the second-leg match against Inter, which was Müller’s last Champions League appearance for Bayern, the Bavarian legend created a symbolic ‘passing of the torch’ moment in the locker room.

Müller sat down with two young academy players, Aleksandar Pavlović and Josip Stanišić, and told them in an inspiring tone: “You must carry on. This is football. You can still win many titles with this jersey. Now it’s your turn.”

This statement not only hints at Müller’s gradual departure from European football’s main stage but also symbolizes the transfer of a legacy he built over more than a decade with commitment, honor, and victories for Bayern. Now, he must prepare to say goodbye.
