"Marlene is a very strong player, full of running, versatile and can be deployed on both flanks as well as in attacking midfield. With her team-orientated style of play, she not only excels defensively by winning a lot of balls, but also has the ability to score herself," said Achim Feifel, Sporting Director of Bayer 04 Women: "With this profile, she is extremely valuable for every team and also clearly strengthens our squad."
Born in Berlin, she played for RB Leipzig from 2020 and was an undisputed regular first choice in recent years. She has scored five goals in 66 Bundesliga games for Leipzig, including three this season. Prior to that, Müller scored a total of 42 goals in 122 second division games for RBL and her former team FFC Turbine Potsdam II.
"I'm looking forward to the new challenge at Bayer 04," said Müller: "The team has continuously improved over the past few years. I want to use my versatility, my pace and my dribbling to ensure that development continues."
