Bayern Munich CEO to Manchester United: “Stop Sending Me Thomas Müller Offers”
Nicknamed “Der Bomber” for his scoring prowess, Mueller, a 1974 World Cup and 1972 European Championship victor, who also won three consecutive European Cups with Bayern, has been suffering from the disease since early this year.
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has lauded his players for yesterday’s emphatic win over Borussia Dortmund, saying that the Bavarian giants have been in great form for quite a few time.
This comes after reports in the past few days from various outlets that Bayern were about to – or already had – begun contract talks with the Spanish coach and were confident of his extension. “His wife Uschi therefore asks for understanding that there will be on his 70th birthday no official appointments and visits”, added the statement.
Muller, with eight goals from seven games, is the second highest scorer in the qualification stage behind his Bayern Munich team-mate Robert Lewandowski.
Gerd Müller is one of the all-time greats of world football.
Muller won the Golden Boot at the 1970 World Cup with ten goals, helping West Germany to a third-place finish. Klose needed 129 appearances to match him.
Rummenigge recognises that and stated last month that no matter what money the uber-rich United put up to sign the German, Bayern will not sell him. We are a football club, ‘ he is quoted by German television station Sport1.
“Despite his success, he was always modest, and that’s what really impressed me.
Gerd, for whom the values of friendship and fair play were very important, deserves for us to be respectful of his illness and respect his and his family’s private sphere”.
