Bayern Munich veteran Thomas Müller has played down concerns about his future at the club, insisting his main focus is proving his worth on the pitch rather than worrying about a contract extension.

As speculation mounts over the future of one of football's most iconic players, Müller appears unfazed, displaying the same confidence and determination that has characterized his illustrious career.

In a candid interview with Sky Sports, Müller, who has been with Bayern Munich for more than two decades, reflected on his changing role within the team and over time. Despite being 34 years old and in the final stages of his career, Müller remains an iconic figure at Bayern, both on and off the pitch.

"Let's see what happens! Only the body gets old. I'm fighting against it," Müller said when asked about his future with the German giants.

These words show his tireless spirit and refusal to accept the limits that may be imposed by age.

Müller's fitness and intensity continue to shine through in his performances, showing that while his body may be aging, his football mind remains as sharp as ever.

Under the current coaching regime of Thomas Tuchel, Müller's role has become more cyclical.

He is no longer guaranteed a place in the first team, with competition fierce among Bayern's star-studded squad.

However, Müller has embraced this challenge, using it as motivation to push himself further.

Known for his versatility and footballing intelligence, Müller played down the importance of the contract period, insisting that his focus is solely on his performance.

"It's not about me or the duration of the contract. Everything is simple," he said, suggesting that he does not care much about the details of his upcoming contract, which is expected to expire at the end of the season.

Instead, the World Cup winner is focusing his efforts on making himself an integral part of Bayern's starting line-up.

"I'm just trying to show the coach that I'm also an option for the starting line-up," Müller explained, highlighting his determination to continue competing at the highest level despite his advanced age.

This statement underlines his unwavering commitment to the team and his desire to prove that he still has what it takes to contribute at a high level.

With Bayern Munich continuing to struggle on many fronts this season, Müller's experience and leadership will no doubt be crucial.

His comments show a player who is still hungry for success and keen to contribute, regardless of the speculation surrounding his future at the club.

For now, Müller remains the focus of the present, letting his performances on the pitch speak louder than any contract talks.

His future at Bayern may be uncertain, but his love for the game and his club is as strong as ever.

Whether he extends his stay at the Allianz Arena or not, one thing is certain: Thomas Müller's legacy at Bayern Munich is already cemented.
