Helmer about Mueller: Football is ungrateful, because he is not just a player. Bavaria does not look very good in this situation. Honesty on the part of the club is the most important thing

Thomas Helmer criticized Bavaria because of the situation with Thomas Muller. The contract of the 35-year-old midfielder with Munich expires this summer. According to media reports, the club’s leadership already made it clear to the player that he would not receive proposals to extend the agreement. The club, in particular, wants to save on a player’s salary, which can be up to 17 million euros per year.
It must be, someone from Bavaria talked about it. It is definitely not good that this has become public.
Judging by the reports of the last days, it does not look very good, and, above all, Bavaria does not look very good in the Müller situation. It should be allowed to do Müller to do this [leave] yourself. But this once again shows: football is ungrateful.
At the end of my stay in Bavaria, Ottmar Hitzfeld made it clear to me that he would rely on other players. It was hard for me, but fair. The leadership of the club, led by Franz Beckenbower, also always treated me honestly. Perhaps today it is a little lost. It is always difficult for such a player as Müller to decide on the transition if he wants to perform another year. Honesty on the part of the club is the most important thing, ”said the ex-player of Bavaria.
The former defender, who played for Bavaria for 7 years, also stated that Müller does not deserve the current situation, because he is not just a player.
He is at the top, one of the greatest players in the history of Bavaria, - added Helmer.
