In this life, Thomas Müller will probably not switch to the Premier League again.
The Bayern star still has a weakness for two clubs.
Munich – The English Premier League is generally considered the strongest league in Europe.
Competition with numerous top clubs is stronger, the pace and physique is higher and there is more money to be made on the island as well.
So it's no wonder that top stars are regularly drawn to England.
The most recent example is ex-Dortmunder Erling Haaland, who signed for Manchester City this summer.
Despite plenty of offers from other top clubs, the City package in the Premier League was arguably the most enticing for the Norwegian in the end.
There is said to have been interest in Müller from the Premier League last winter
The step from the Bundesliga to the Premier League is no small one.
Nevertheless, in the past many German national players dared to embark on the 'English adventure'.
Sometimes very successful, for example with İlkay Gündoğan (City), Antonio Rüdiger or Kai Havertz (Chelsea) - sometimes less successful, as the case of Timo Werner shows.
According to a
Sport1
report, clubs from England are said to have put out feelers to Thomas Müller last winter.
According to Sport1
, it is said to have been Everton FC and the nouveau riche Newcastle United.
However, the interest was not mutual - the chance of a commitment from Müller, who appeared earlier than expected at the start of training at Bayern, was zero, according to the report.
Favorite club in the Premier League?
Müller loves to “watch City”
A move by Müller to England should be extremely unlikely anyway - the 32-year-old made that clear again on FC Bayern Munich's US tour when he brushed off an Arsenal fan.
Two other clubs from the island seem to be interested in Müller.
"I love watching (Manchester) City," the Bavarian revealed to ESPN when asked which his favorite club in England was.
The answer comes as no surprise, after all, the "Citizens" are trained by ex-Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.
"But as a fan, I might prefer to be in the stands in Liverpool, on Anfield Road," Müller said.
In any case, Sadio Mané can tell him first-hand about the unique stadium atmosphere in Anfield.
The Senegalese played for the "Reds" for around six years and strengthened the Bayern squad in the summer for 32 million euros.
With Leroy Sané there is also a teammate who can report on his experience as a city player under Guardiola.
So Müller seems to have everything he needs in Munich.
