Negotiations surrounding a potential move for former Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller to Major League Soccer (MLS) are reportedly progressing rapidly. According to German publication “Bild”, Müller is in advanced discussions with Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
A key focus of the ongoing discussions centers on how the Canadian team will acquire the right of first refusal for Müller from FC Cincinnati. The Los Angeles FC have reportedly withdrawn from the competition for the player’s services. Sources indicate that negotiations with Vancouver are now down to final details.
The proposed contract is believed to extend until the end of 2026.
Müller himself has previously suggested a desire to transition his playing career to North America, though an official confirmation of the talks has yet to be released. The prospect of a move to MLS has generated considerable excitement within the league and among fans.
