Elsewhere, Thomas Muller has announced his retirement from the German national team and this year's Euro will be the last event he will participate in. It doesn't feel like he has been a mainstay for the German national team at international level, but in the last competition he took part in he started to decline and we rarely see him starting. Despite all that, he will still play football with Bayern Munich next season and his contract will end in 2025.
Compared to Kroos, this is an expected decision, and he is not finished with club football. It will be interesting to see what happens in a year - whether he retires from football altogether or goes to Saudi Arabia. Müller spent his entire career in Bayern, 17 years, and it seems to me that it is unlikely that he will go to play somewhere else for additional money.
He only played 2 times during Euro 2024, which means he is no longer the mainstay player he was when he was young, one of the reasons is because he is no longer young and now there are many young players in the German national team, even though they still have a lot of appearances. lacking, and cannot be compared to Muller when he was young. I already knew about his decision, because previously he also said that this would most likely be the last competition he would take part in with the German national team before deciding to retire.
He was one of the players who contributed a lot when Germany won the 2014 World Cup, which was the highest achievement he ever achieved with Germany. It will definitely be very difficult to decide this, but the fact is that players have to make this decision for one reason or another. He will accompany Kroos, who has already retired from his career as a footballer.
