Thomas Muller signs new long-term deal with Bayern Munich

Thomas Muller, Jerome Boateng, Javi Martinez and Xabi Alonso have all signed new contracts with Bundelsliga leaders Bayern Munich.

Muller has been reportedly linked with Manchester United, but the World Cup winner has now ended speculation over his future by committing to new terms with Bayern until 2021.

The 26-year-old, who has been with the club his whole career - has won the Bundesliga four times - plus the German Cup, Super Cup, Champions League and Club World Cup.

"I come from the area, I've been here 15 years and of course I'm delighted," Muller told Bayern's television channel, FCB TV.

"I am proud and happy that I have extended my contract."

Muller is currently enjoying one of his most prolific seasons in a Bayern shirt, scoring 13 Bundesliga goals with less than half of the season completed.

He has also scored five times in the Champions League, helping the Bavarians set up a last-16 tie with Juventus.

Former Manchester City defender Boateng and Martinez have also signed new deals until 2021, while former Liverpool midfielder Alonso extended his stay at the club until 2017.

Alonso, 34, scored a stunning long-range half-volley to book Bayern's place in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal in midweek.

The future of Bayern's manager Pep Guardiola still remains unclear but the former Barcelona has made up his mind and informed chairman Karl-Heinz Rumenigge.

Guardiola is out-of-contract in the summer and said an announcement will be made this weekend's match at Hamburg.

The 44-year-old was questioned during Friday's press conference on reports that Carlo Ancelotti is set to take over from him at Bayern, but would only say he had a good relationship with the Italian and respected him very much.

Bayern are top of the Bundesliga before the winter break next week and are through to the Champions League knockout stage.
