BAYERN MUNICH CAPTAIN Philipp Lahm accepts that there are no guarantees that Thomas Muller will stay at the club amid links to Manchester United.
Reports in the German media have suggested that the Premier League side are preparing a second raid on the Bundesliga champions after securing the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger earlier in July, with a fee of as much as €100m being quoted for the German World Cup winner.
Full-back Lahm offered no assurances to Bayern’s supporters that his fellow Germany World Cup winner would not follow Schweinsteiger to Old Trafford, where he would be reunited with former Bayern boss Louis van Gaal.
“In football you can imagine everything,” he told reporters. “It’s not my decision. In football, it goes so, so quickly.
“It’s not always only up to the player. There are clubs who get players, players go. In football everything goes very, very quickly. I think you can never give a guarantee that it will work like this or like that.
“As a result, I certainly can’t give any guarantee for Thomas Muller or talk about whether I can imagine [him leaving]. You can always imagine anything happening.”
