The 34-year-old has been with Bayern since he was 10 years old and, since making his senior debut for the club in 2008, he has gone on to amass 684 competitive appearances for the first team, ranking him second in Bayern's all-time appearance list.

Muller has helped the club win 12 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues, the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup trophies as well as six DFB Cups and eight German Supercups.

On the international stage, the German forward won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Muller told the Bayern website: "I'm happy my journey at Bayern is continuing. I want to play my part in us remaining successful, both as a team and the whole club.

"It's important to me to be a foundation and to help steer the team in the right direction. I want to excite our fans with goals, helping create goals, my love of the game, my passion for football - and hopefully with many more titles."

Sporting director Christoph Freund added: "We're very pleased that Thomas Muller will be staying at FC Bayern for another season.

"He's a leader both on and off the pitch, always a role model and incredibly valuable for the entire team. Thomas pushes every team with his open and positive manner on and off the pitch.

"The way he plays is extremely clever, for the team, and he's very versatile in where he can play. Thomas is also almost never injured, always there - just quality and reliability personified."
