According to SB Nation, Thomas Tuchel is set to axe Muller from his ideal starting XI for the 2023/24 season, as the Germany legend has fallen down the pecking order at the Allianz Arena.

The former Chelsea manager is hoping Bayern will land Juventus forward, Dusan Vlahovic in the summer to add impetus to the club’s attack, which has lacked a natural goal-poacher since the exit of Robert Lewandowski.

Muller only managed seven Bundesliga goals and created eight assists this season for Bayern Munich in 27 appearances.

Muller contemplating future at Bayern

Meanwhile, Muller is considering his future at Bayern Munich after being reduced to an option from the bench under coach Tuchel, Fansided reports.

The 2014 World Cup winner could be one of the high-profile departures from the Allianz Arena, as he wants regular game time and the chance to compete for big trophies.

Muller is yet to hold talks with the Bayern hierarchy about his future, although it is believed the Bundesliga champios would not mind parting ways with the 33-year-old forward this summer.

Muller sets amazing Bundesliga record

German forward, Muller is now the only player in the history of the Bundesliga to win 12 top flight league titles, one more than teammate, Manuel Neuer, who has won 11 trophies.
