National player Thomas Müller has extended his contract with Bayern Munich for another season until the summer of 2024.
This was announced by the German soccer record champion.
Sport1 had previously reported an agreement.
Müller's contract would have originally expired in the summer of 2023.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (36) and striker Robert Lewandowski (33) have the same contract term.
»I really enjoy holding up the red colors on and off the pitch every year.
Even when the wind blows in your face.
So let's keep tackling it together," said Müller, according to the announcement.
"An Important Character"
As a player with eleven German championships, Müller is the Bundesliga record holder.
He has been playing for the record German champions for over two decades and made his Bundesliga debut in 2008.
"Thomas Müller is a role model who carries our club's coat of arms in his heart," CEO Oliver Kahn is quoted as saying: "He's someone who takes the lead, and he's also an important character in the cabin with his style."
