Germany and Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller will leave the Bundesliga giants at the end of the 2024-25 season, it has been confirmed by both the club and the player himself. 

Muller's association with Bayern stretches back to the year 2000, when he joined the side's youth academy. He progressed through the academy and made it to the first team, where he has played since 2008. 

"I feel immense gratitude and joy that I got to make this career with my beloved club. The special connection to the club and our fantastic fans will always remain," Muller said.

As of this writing, Muller has scored 247 goals for the senior team. He played across the forward line but was at his most effective operating as a second striker.

Muller's time at the Bavarian giants has led to not only plenty of goals but also a lot of success.
