Müller recently spoke to the podcast Kickbase, where he said he had approached leaving the team twice during his Bayern career.

Müller said: "In the 2008-09 season, I had very few opportunities under Klinsmann, when I was close to leaving the team. Hoffenheim wanted to sign me, but in the end the trip did not make the trip due to transfer fees, and Gerland also tried very hard to keep me. ”
'The other time was during the 2019-20 season when Kovac was in charge, I considered leaving the team for a new challenge in the winter window, during which time I had very few opportunities to play, but I didn't have a conflict with the coach, he can make his own decisions.
