As doubt surrounds his future after his impending exit from the Bavarian powerhouse this summer, it has been claimed that Thomas Müller, the legendary forward for Bayern Munich, has turned down offers from FC Cincinnati of Major League Soccer and Fiorentina of Serie A in Italy.

The reputable Bild tabloid reported on Wednesday that negotiations between an agent and Fiorentina were in progress, but Müller is adamantly opposed to the transfer.  Following the club’s decision to not extend his contract, the 35-year-old German international is expected to depart Bayern, capping an incredible career in which he has won 33 trophies, including a World Cup in 2014.

Müller has been silent on his possible future plans as his remarkable 25-year relationship with Bayern draws to a close, following the Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States from June 15 to July 13.  “I have pursued nothing during these deciding weeks,” Müller said after Inter Milan’s humiliating Champions League elimination last week.

Müller has stated that he wants to play on, and teammates and supporters anticipate that he may look for possibilities elsewhere, so retirement appears improbable.  “I have the feeling that he still enjoys football a lot,” said midfielder Joshua Kimmich, emphasizing their conversations about it.

 “It isn’t over and that he has the energy to tackle something new,” said Christoph Freund, sporting director for Bayern, who expressed his opinion that Müller is not finished yet.  He will make this club better wherever he goes.”  One desirable location may be the United States, where Müller would be able to compete with former Bayern greats Gerd Müller and Franz Beckenbauer.

Müller still has time to think about his future because Bayern is aiming for the Bundesliga title as early as this weekend and the Club World Cup is quickly approaching.  He has a crucial chance to play with up-and-coming players like Jamal Musiala in the U.S. competition, who has expressed his resolve to bounce back from injury.  “The Club World Cup is my main goal since it will bring reputation, revenue for the club, and a new international championship.  Our goal is to win.  Musiala declared, “I want to return to the field in the United States.”
