Bayern Munich plans to abandon contract talks with Thomas Muller

Bayern Munich is reportedly considering walking away from contract negotiations with veteran forward Thomas Muller, whose current deal expires in June. The club has shifted focus towards younger talents under coach Vincent Kompany, leaving Muller with limited playing time. Uli Hoeness, a key figure in the club's history, suggested Muller should consider retirement if he remains a substitute. Meanwhile, Leroy Sané is seeking a contract extension, with reports indicating that discussions are ongoing, though no formal offer has been made yet. Sané has been in excellent form this season, which has drawn interest from Arsenal as well. Bayern Munich is also eyeing Liverpool's Cody Gakpo for a significant bid this summer, as they look to enhance their attacking options amidst potential departures of current forwards.
