At the same time, they’ve brought clarity: As much as I’m honored by the interest from top international clubs, I’ve made a clear decision that I want to stay with FC Bayern until the end of the season. Our shared goal is to be back at Marienplatz in May, celebrating the biggest titles together with YOU! At the same time, the club and I have decided, after good and constructive discussions, that our successful time together will come to an end this summer. As I’ve said before, it’s also the right time for me to start a new chapter: as a footballer and as a person. Let’s all give it our all to achieve maximum success this season and at the World Cup with FC Bayern and the national team!
