Bayern Munich Chairman Dismisses Thomas Muller January Transfer Rumours

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has played down rumours star forward Thomas Muller could leave the club in the January transfer window, saying he's glad the German is upset with his current role.

Speaking to Welt am Sonntag (h/t Goal's Michael Plant), Rummenigge said the relationship between club and player remains solid, and a January exit is unlikely: "I can not imagine that. The relationship between Thomas and Bayern is totally intact and will remain an important part of our club. If Thomas would sit contentedly on the bench, he would be in the wrong club.
