Details of German legend Thomas Muller's surprising side business have resurfaced after his departure from Bayern Munich was confirmed.
After an amazing 25 years, Bayern Munich confirmed on Saturday that star player Muller would be leaving the club at the end of the season.
The 35-year-old has made over 700 appearances for the Bundesliga side, but the club made the decision not to offer him a new contract ahead of his current deal expiring in the summer.

While it is not yet clear what the next step in Muller's career will be, it is likely he will continue his shock side business that has been highly successive in recent years.
While Muller enjoys a career as a professional footballer, his wife, Lisa, is a champion dressage rider who currently works at her own stables.
Together, the pair set up a breeding farm their horses called 'EU Insemination Station,' allowing breeders to order semen from the stallions from their farm, and it's not cheap.

For around £1,700, breeders will receive two 'installments' from Muller's stables that include insemination and pregnancy, and a processing fee.
And it appears that Muller and his wife known what they are doing, as a horse co-owned by the German international took home a gold medal in the individual showjumping event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The horse, named Checker, was ridden by German Christian Kukuk, with the pair putting in an impressive performance, much to the delight of Muller, who shared his reaction on social media.
In a video posted on his social media, he said: "It's golden - we are Olympic winners.

"Hats off to what you have done with Checker in the last year and a half. I am so excited. Let yourself go and celebrate now."

Having retired from international football after Euro 2024, Muller may decide to hang the boots up for good at the end of the season and focus on his stables, or he may decide to secure a move to another club.
Reacting to his departure from Bayern Munich, Muller wrote in a statement "It's clear that today is not like any other day for me.

"My 25 years as an FC Bayern Munich player will come to an end in the summer. It's been an incredible journey, shaped by unique experiences, great encounters and unforgettable triumphs.
"I feel immense gratitude and joy that I got to make this career with my beloved club. The special connection to the club and our fantastic fans will always remain. What I want as a farewell should be clear: titles we can celebrate together, and moments we'll remember fondly for a long time.
"We're going to give our all in the coming weeks to bring the league title back to Munich and reach our coveted 'Finale Dahoam.' Let's do it together!"
