Uli Hoeness, a key figure in Bayern Munich's supervisory board, discussed the decision to not extend Thomas Müller's contract due to financial constraints. Initially, talks suggested a possible extension, but the club ultimately decided against it, surprising Müller. Hoeness emphasized that the club must adapt to its current economic reality, which has worsened significantly since three years ago. The decision, while disappointing for Müller, reflects the necessity of financial prudence and was agreed upon by club leadership.
As it is now well-known, the club's reason to let go of Muller is due to finances, and this move was reportedly supported by all the higher ups of the club.
If FC Bayern's economic situation were still what it was, say, three years ago, the decision in Müller’s case might have been different.
Thomas was not prepared for that. He expressed this in his statement, which is completely understandable.
FC Bayern clearly has to save. There is not much left in our fixed-deposit account. We have to rethink our financial approach.
