Bayern bosses hold talks with Müller after early exit reports

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn and board member for sports Hasan Salihamidzic have held talks with midfielder Thomas Müller to make it clear that the club still relies on him, the Bild newspaper reported on Friday, according to dpa.

Wednesday's edition of the Sport Bild weekly suggested that the forward was toying with leaving Bayern because he was not satisfied with his playing time under Julian Nagelsmann and his successor Thomas Tuchel.

Müller has recently lost his place in the Bayern starting team, but has a contract with the club until 2024.

Müller took to Instagram to rubbish the claims showing him standing next to one of his horses named King D'avie along with the caption "If you could read the paper King D'avie" along with a face-palm emoji and hashtags "now it's really becoming wild", "full focus on the championship" and "always FCB."

Kahn also insisted in an interview with Sport Bild that a Müller exit "will not happen."

Bavarian Müller, 33, has been at Bayern since the age of 10 and made his Bundesliga debut in 2008. The fan favourite has won two trebles with them in 2013 and 2020, plus many more titles and the 2014 World Cup with the national team.
