Muller has hinted a future move to away from the club in an interview with The Times.

"I’m not fixed to this club,” said the 31-year-old midfielder. "I have a special relationship, I loved Bayern before I started playing for them, but when there’s a situation where you have to decide maybe to play for a different club, it would be no shame and no problem at all.”

Muller is fond of English football, but he struggles with the country’s dialects, notably Geordie. That shouldn’t be a problem, however, given that relegation-threatened Newcastle United is not a likely destination for Germany’s most decorated player should he decide to leave Bayern.

Asked about England, Muller said: "I like it. But some cultures, speaking and such, special dialect, I don’t understand everything. Newcastle? Ah, I don’t know.”
