Bayern Munich 'open contract talks with Thomas Muller'

Bayern Munich have reportedly made their first move to extend the contract of forward Thomas Muller.

The Germany international has enjoyed a legendary career at the Allianz Arena, contributing 226 goals from his 618 appearances in all competitions.

However, with 15 months remaining on his contract, speculation persists that the 32-year-old may take on a new challenge before the end of his career.

According to Bild, club officials have made their opening move to hand Muller fresh terms before the start of the summer transfer window.

The report claims that Muller's representatives have held talks with Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

Earlier this year, it was claimed that Newcastle United had made contact with Bayern regarding a potential deal for the frontman.
