Thomas Muller says he will 'give everything on and off the pitch' after agreeing Bayern Munich extension

German World Cup winner Thomas Muller has agreed to a two-year contract extension with Bayern Munich until June 2023.

Muller, 30, has been on the clubs books since the age of 10 and has established himself as one of the club's most prominent and important players, making over 500 first-team appearances since breaking through from the youth academy in 2009.

"I'm happy that we've reached agreement with Thomas. Thomas is a special player for us, a figurehead for the club and our fans, a leader who shows the way on the pitch and has achieved a lot with FC Bayern," Bayern's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said.

The 2014 World Cup winner has enjoyed a trophy-laden career at Bayern, winning eight Bundesliga titles, five German Cups and five German Super Cups in addition to the 2013 Champions League.

The prolific forward was the subject of interest from Manchester United and Inter Milan at the turn of the year after losing his place in the team to Philippe Coutinho under previous coach Niko Kovac.

He has found himself back in favour under Hansi Flick, who replaced Kovac after the Croat was sacked in November.

Muller has not represented the German national team since manager Joachim Low said in March 2019 that he was no longer in his plans.

"For me, the number one priority was to extend at FC Bayern –and the club felt the same way.

"This club is not just any old employer for me. It's my passion. I'm happy that I'll be here for two extra years, and I'll give everything on and off the pitch."

Bayern players returned to training on Monday, with team members split in small groups or pairs and kept at a safe distance amid strict measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

German football has been suspended for almost a month and the German Football League (DFL) has said the ban will remain in place for the top divisions at least until April 30.

"I'm sure that once we're playing again, we'll continue to be very successful. That spurs me on," Muller said.
