Just like the cases of Paolo Maldini or Francesco Totti with their clubs, there are other cases in Germany that can be recalled as some of the greatest loyalty demonstrations in football history. Muller is a last name that has a lot of history in Bayern Munich and Germany, back in the seventies, Gerd Muller became a true icon and legend with the Bavarian club where he played throughout all of his prime and granted many important trophies to the club.
While playing there, Muller also became the World Cup's all time goal scorer, a record that lasted 32 years until Brazilian Ronaldo broke it in 2006 and then compatriot Miroslav Klose did the same in 2014. But Thomas Muller seems to be on his way of becoming another Bayern and Germany legend with the same last name, he has proved his loyalty to the club several times. But there hadn't been any actual proof that he wanted to actually stay.
Well, it has been revealed by club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, that Thomas Muller rejected a world record offer to leave. He told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that: "Thomas Muller came out of it [the youth academy]. [He is] born near Munich, formed here, the hero of the fans. We had a mad offer from Manchester United last year, which was not a topic for one second. We could have secured a world-record transfer fee."
Rummenigge also spoke about the new signing of Portuguese star Renato, who he thinks will be worth their while, even if his price goes through the roof should they win the Champions League next season: "I hope so [that the fee rises], because then he would be a really good signing. If you want to have a player with world-class potential, then you have to act quickly, much earlier than had previously been the case, otherwise these players are gone."
He also revealed they rejected to sign Belgian player Kevin de Bruyne: "We had an offer to sign De Bruyne in 2015 for the following year. The fee plus salary amounted to over 100 million euros, so the risk was too high. We have now signed a centre-back in Mats Hummels, because we have enough quality and quantity in attack."
