Thomas Muller admits the wages offered by Premier League clubs are tempting

Thomas Muller has scored 8 goals in 8 league appearances for Bayern Munich this season

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller has admitted that wages offered by the Premier League clubs are tempting and he has dropped the biggest hint about having second thoughts in a move to Manchester United, according to Mirror. Muller extended his contract in 2014, committing his future with the German club until June 2019.

The 26-year-old was heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window and the Manchester club had a “very high” offer rejected by Bayern for the German international. Ed Woodward is rumoured to have made a number of approaches for Muller but the Bavarians indicated that there was no chance they would sell him, nor did the player himself have any interest in leaving the Allianz Arena.

However, Muller might have just dropped the biggest bombshell by admitting that the money on offer in England is “very tempting”.

"In the end, we should not forget that playing football is our job," he told Welt am Sonntag.

"So people should accept that wages will always play a role in a player's decision-making. Of course, the wages that are being paid in the Premier League are very tempting. It would be hypocrisy to deny that.”

"You have to look at the complete package to determine whether something is right for you. What's good for you one day will not necessarily still be good for you the day after.”

"I know that a lot of German clubs are unhappy with the Premier League clubs' spending, but I think it is something good for all clubs in the end. It can only be a good thing for football when clubs invest so much money."

Bayern Chief executive insists his player is not for sale

The German club’s chief executive, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had stated earlier this week, that they have no interest in selling the forward, regardless of the size of the bid.

“Muller is not for sale. Our English colleagues seem to be unable to spend all of their money.” he said.

“It’s difficult. Everyone knows our old friend, Louis Van Gaal. He is very stubborn in those things. Maybe he thinks that there is a price where Bayern will start to ruminate, but there is no price at all.”

“Because of our partners and our really good financial situation we are completely resistant. There is no price, Thomas Muller has four years more on his contract.”

"There is no one, not here or anywhere, who can explain to me why we should sell Thomas Muller.”
