Bayern star Muller offers no guarantees on long-term future

Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller says he cannot guarantee he will spend the rest of his career at the club, although he insists he is happy at the Allianz Arena.

The 28-year-old has enjoyed a resurgence in form under Jupp Heynckes and registered a goal and two assists in the 4-0 Bundesliga win over Freiburg on Sunday.

"It's hard to look three or four years into the future," he told Sport1. "If things are going well, why should I want to leave?

"But you never know what will happen in the next few years. What are my capabilities? How are the conditions? Do I have the confidence of the coach, or not?"

Muller stressed, however, that he does not believe any player is being sincere when they say they have always dreamed of playing in a specific country.

"You have to show me who really had that dream," he said. "Normally, there's always a mixture of sporting and financial perspectives.

"Sometimes the whole package makes you decide on a foreign country, and sometimes not. But nobody can tell me that have had it planned for their whole career. 

"Very short-term things, like your private life, are at play in there."
