Premier League wages ‘tempting’ to Bayern Munich star Muller

Thomas Muller has admitted that the money Premier League clubs pay their players is certainly am enticing proposition.


The Bayern Munich star has been constantly linked with Manchester United over the past few months but suggests he has no intention of leaving the Bundesliga.

However, new comments from the World Cup winner indicates that wages English clubs pay their top players is certainly something that appeals to him, suggesting perhaps he could one day be lured from the Allianz Arena to the UK.

"In the end, we should not forget that playing football is our job," he told Welt am Sonntag.

"So people should accept that wages will always play a role in a player's decision-making. Of course, the wages that are being paid in the Premier League are very tempting. It would be hypocrisy to deny that.

"You have to look at the complete package to determine whether something is right for you. What's good for you one day will not necessarily still be good for you the day after.

"I know that a lot of German clubs are unhappy with the Premier League clubs' spending, but I think it is something good for all clubs in the end. It can only be a good thing for football when clubs invest so much money."
