Thomas Müller comments on his open contract situation at Bayern.

The FCB leader is gradually losing patience and putting the bosses under pressure.

Munich – It's the topic at Bayern*: The outstanding contract extensions from Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, Robert Lewandowski or Serge Gnabry.

Even in the international break, there is no rest in the matter.

On the contrary: Müller is now heating up the negotiation poker with the national team at the DFB-PK on Wednesday.

The FCB bosses should pay attention.

FC Bayern: Thomas Müller wants to play until 2025

Thomas Müller is getting impatient.

Apparently not much progress is being made in the contract talks about an extension with FC Bayern.

The decision-makers keep pointing to the coming weeks.

Müller's contract expires in the summer of 2023.

The Bayern leader wants planning security.

"I had it in my head to play football at the top level by 2025.

My contract currently runs until 2023, so you have to see what we do there,” said Müller, who has spent his entire professional career in Munich and is considered the figurehead of the club.

Most recently, there was public astonishment that FC Bayern is not conducting contract negotiations with Müller or the other deserving players.

Thomas Müller puts FC Bayern under pressure in contract negotiations

However, the talks have long since started.

“The club and we players are always in a certain exchange.

That's what we were when they said there was no contact at all," said Müller.

However, the 32-year-old native of Bavaria followed his statements with a big "but".

"The only question is always how intensive the contact is - that's where the wheat is logically separated from the chaff, whether you're talking about the weather or the actual content of the contract," explained Müller.

Apparently it wasn't really concrete in the talks.

But he didn't want to divulge too much.

"There is a lot of respect for each other on both sides," said Müller.

Thomas Müller leaves the end of his career in the DFB team open

For Müller personally, it's also about his role on the pitch and in the team: "I have certain expectations of myself. As long as I can tip the scales in certain situations at the top level, I'm definitely interested in football to play.” The same applies to the German national team.

Even with the DFB, the 110-time national player has no specific time in mind for the end of his career.

"As long as I can play a positive, decisive criterion and a national coach has the idea of ​​nominating me, I will deal with it," announced Müller.

"As long as the criteria match, there is no general end for me." But he is also aware that it is "very difficult" to catch the right time for the right career end in the national team.

FC Bayern: After Neuer, Müller also talks about contract talks

Müller's captain Manuel Neuer did not want to comment on the unclear contract situation at Bayern on Tuesday.

"But it's not like you have to be distracted by the sporting situation.

The players it affects are all experienced enough to deal with such a slightly open situation," said Müller.

The coming weeks will provide information about this.

An early solution would certainly be in the interest of everyone involved in view of the decisive games in spring.
