Thomas Müller Set to Join Vancouver Whitecaps

German soccer legend Thomas Müller is set to join Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps after an illustrious 25-year career at Bayern Munich, where he scored 250 goals in 756 appearances and won 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions League trophies. Vancouver secured Müller's MLS discovery rights from FC Cincinnati for up to $400,000 in General Allocation Money, as Cincinnati could not sign him due to roster limitations. Müller turned down offers from both FC Cincinnati and LAFC, opting for Vancouver, where he will initially not be a Designated Player but is expected to become one in 2026. Renowned for his 'Raumdeuter' playing style, Müller is anticipated to make a major impact on the Whitecaps, who are currently top contenders in the MLS standings. His signing is regarded as potentially the most high-profile in club history and is expected to boost the Whitecaps' MLS Cup ambitions. An official announcement is expected soon.
