Bayern Munich icon Thomas Müller may not have his contract renewed for another season, the Bild paper reported on Friday.
Bild said that Müller has so far not been offered a contract both sides could agree upon, and that a decision on the future of Müller would be reached and announced soon.
"Tendency, no new player contract," Bild titled, adding that Bayern were aiming to keep him at the club in a new capacity.
Müller, 35, came to Bayern as a little boy and has spent his entire career there. He has close to 750 matches which is a club record, and is also their most successful player, with silverware including 12 Bundesliga titles, six German Cups and two Champions Leagues.
Sporting director Christoph Freund would only say on Friday that "we are in discussions with Thomas Müller, Leroy Sane and Eric Dier. When there's something to report, we'll do it."
Bayern had prioritised renewals of key players Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies (all until 2030) and captain Manuel Neuer (2026).
"We had a plan at the start of the season. We had players with whom we absolutely wanted to extend their contracts because they are extremely important for the future of the club. Everything has materialised just as we imagined and wished," board member for sport Max Eberl said recently.
