Chelsea target Thomas Muller has admitted
that he is open to following Thiago Alcantara’s path out of Allianz Arena,
insisting he is “not fixed” to Bayern Munich.
Muller has appeared in 571 games across all competitions for
Bayern, scoring 212 goals and laying on 210 assists. The experienced frontman
has picked up 27 major trophies, including nine Bundesliga titles and two
Champions League crowns.
The 31-year-old remains a key member of the squad, but he is
refusing to rule out a transfer in the near future – citing Thiago’s 2020 move
to Liverpool as proof that no one is bound to the club unconditionally.
“I’m not fixed to this club,” the Bayern forward told The
Times. “I have a special relationship, I love Bayern before I started playing
for them, but when there is a situation where you have to decide maybe to play
for a different club it would be no shame and no problem at all.
“Maybe like with Thiago [Alcantara, now
at Liverpool].”
Although there is no need for the club to make a move and
try to acquire the services of Muller in the summer, Thomas Tuchel will make a
move for the player should he feel that the Bayern star will add to his squad
next season.
There is no doubt that Tuchel is
lacking a proven goal-scorer in his attack, and although Muller is not the same
player he was just a few seasons ago, he is still regarded as one of the most
deadly strikers in world football.
And for the right money, he may actually be a decent signing
for the club.
