Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the Barcelona goalkeeper, appears to be nearing the end of his recovery after damaging ligaments in his knee in September. After an operation and six months of recuperation, ter Stegen just resumed training with the rest of the club, raising the issue of whether he will play again this summer. The 32-year-old is the club captain and has been the undisputed number one for some time, but after a lengthy injury and with Barcelona in the midst of the title race, the Copa del Rey final, and the Champions League, there are understandable doubts about whether it is the right time to change goalkeepers. Furthermore, Barcelona is yet to taste loss since adding Wojciech Szczesny as an injury replacement. Despite a rocky start, the Polish veteran has performed admirably. "Only one goalkeeper can play," ter Stegen told Sport, laughing, after the 'Gentleman's Day' award ceremony. He went on to say he will talk to manager Hansi Flick about a possi...
Thomas Muller's future at Bayern Munich has been a hot topic in Germany over the weekend. The seasoned German forward hopes to conclude his brilliant career in Munich at the end of the season.
During the international break, Muller allegedly spoke with Bayern executives twice. The club hierarchy has always claimed that Muller is an important element of the squad, but they have opted not to grant him a new contract. Muller is set to leave Munich on a free transfer in the summer.
According to Christian Falk (via iMiaSanMia), Muller was astonished by Bayern's decision not to give him a new contract. The German forward wanted to stay with the club for another season, but it appears that the club's executives have made up their minds, which is a significant departure from their earlier stance of offering Muller a new contract as long as he wanted to play in Bavaria.
It is unclear whether Muller will issue an official statement about his future plans. He hoped to play at the highest level until at least 2025. The 35-year-old will not play for another Bundesliga team. If Thomas Muller intends to continue playing at the highest level, a move from Europe to the MLS or Saudi Arabia may be lucrative.
Die Roten still have a lot to play for, therefore Muller will be ready to succeed on the pitch regardless of what occurs in the background. Winning the Bundesliga and Champions League crowns would be an ideal way to conclude his stint with Bayern.
Bayern fans will continue to hope that the club can work out a deal with Thomas Muller to extend his contract for another season. His presence in the locker room is critical, and Muller can still make an important contribution on the field.

Wages could be a determining factor in Bayern's choice.
Muller is one of Bayern's top earners. He has not been a regular starter under Vincent Kompany. With Die Roten searching for methods to reduce their pay cost, it makes economical sense to split ways with the veteran German forward. Die Roten want to spend heavily over the summer, making large departures critical to the company's financial stability.It is unclear whether Muller will issue an official statement about his future plans.
