Mueller joined Bayern aged 10 and worked his way through the junior teams before joining the first team squad in 2009. His previous deal was due to expire in 2021.

“I’m happy that we could reach agreement with Thomas,” said sport director Hasan Salihamidzic. “Thomas is a special player for us, an identification figure for the club and our fans, a leader on the pitch who has achieved a lot with Bayern.”

The 30-year-old Mueller has won eight Bundesliga titles and five German Cups with Bayern along with the 2013 Champions League. He also lifted the World Cup with Germany in 2014 but was dropped from the national squad by coach Joachim Loew early last year.

“This club is not just an employer for me,” Mueller said. “It is my passion. I’m happy that I can still be here two years more and will give everything on and off the pitch.”
