MUNICH: Thomas Mueller signed a two-year contract extension with
Bayern Munich
, the German champions said on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old attacking midfielder's contract had been due to expire at the end of next season but he is now tied to the team until 2023.
Mueller has been with Bayern for 20 years, winning eight German titles and the 2013 Champions League, and marked his 500th senior game for the club in November.
"I've been with
FC Bayern
for a good two-thirds of my life now, so you can't say that the club and I are just along for the ride - we fight for each other," Mueller said in a statement. "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."
The announcement comes four days after Bayern coach Hansi Flick signed an extension through 2023.
Mueller has played every league game for Bayern this season but hasn't represented the German national team since coach
Joachim Löw
said in March 2019 that Müller was no longer in his plans.
