Bayern Munich legends Thomas Müller, Robert Lewandowski and Manuel Neuer are all coming to the end of their contracts in June 2023. The Bavarian club is not panicking, however, because it knows, as well as its players, that the necessary will be done in time. For Spoxclub president Herbert Hainer acknowledged the importance of his three players: “Robert Lewandowski knows we all appreciate him here at FC Bayern. I, too, have already expressed my esteem for him on several occasions. The same goes for Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller, who are also exceptional personalities in the history of FC Bayern.. The Bavarian leader then indicated that things will come naturally: “We approach discussions with them in a relaxed way. There is still enough time, and our players know it. Our sports management is in constant contact with our players and conducts contract negotiations at the appropriate times.
However, the president of the FCB does not hide that the direction that football is taking in economic terms is not easy to understand: “due to enormous financial competition internationally, player salaries and transfer amounts are moving in spheres that are anything but easy to control – and all of this is compounded by the pandemic, the consequences of which will keep us busy for now long time.” For his part, Oliver Kahn sets the goal, and what needs to be done to achieve it: “In sports, we know exactly what we want. Our goal is to win the Champions League every season. For this, we must both strengthen our team in a targeted way and discuss contracts with our players. For this, we do not allow ourselves to be put under pressure from the outside.
