Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has told manager Pep Guardiola to inform the reigning Bundesliga champions of his decision regarding his future at the club as soon as possible. “Without Gerd Muller the people would still be in that wooden hut from the time”.
The 2014 World Cup winners need one more point to guarantee qualification for next year’s European Championship in France.
Nicknamed “Der Bomber”, Muller, 70 next month, scored 68 goals in 62 games for what was then West Germany, and netted over 650 goals in his club career.
This includes 14 goals in World Cup matches, third on the all-time list behind Klose (16) and Brazil’s Ronaldo (15).
Christian Falk, lead football writer at Bild, broke the news on Twitter with a humorous post that suggested Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is fed-up with receiving offers from United counterpart Ed Woodward.
The former Barcelona boss has saluted his players for their remarkable win last night and took the opportunity to laud them for the great form they have been in. Gerd was a striker the like of which we probably won’t see again.
“Despite his success, he was always modest, and that’s what really impressed me”. The 20-time English champions signed Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern and were looking to add his compatriot to their squad in the summer transfer window. “We’re also grateful to him for that”.

“Since the beginning of February 2015 Müller is professionally cared for with the strong support of his family”.
