plans to offer Thomas Muller a new contract worth €15
million per season.
Former Germany international Jorg Heinrich feels Bayern
Munich would be wrong to offer Thomas Muller an annual
salary of €15million as it would alienate their fans.
Recent reports suggest Bayern are ready to offer the 26-year-
old a significant pay rise in order to convince him to snub
interest from abroad, with Manchester United allegedly keeping
a close eye on his situation at the Allianz Arena.
Nevertheless, Heinrich - now coach of fourth-tier side
Luckenwalde - feels it would be a bad idea to pay Muller €15m
per year before taxes.
"Muller could be earning €15m per year at Bayern in the future,"
Heinrich wrote in his column for TZ.
"But what does this effectively mean? First of all, a lot of tax
deductions! His new payslip will be a massacre. He will make
€1.25m a month before taxes, of which will remain €614.232
after taxes.
"If Muller goes for an eight-hour sleep, he will have made an
extra €6.731. That means he will be making more or less 200
times as much as regular fans.
"Of course, Muller is a great player and worth a lot of money.
But surely making 100 times as much as a normal fan should
do the trick as well."
Muller's current contract with Bayern is due to expire in June
2019.
