Negotiations are reportedly progressing between former Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller and Major League Soccer (MLS), with Vancouver Whitecaps emerging as a frontrunner in the potential deal. According to reports from Bild, discussions are at an advanced stage, centering on the acquisition of Müller’s pre-emption rights from FC Cincinnati.
The primary focus of the ongoing talks revolves around the method by which Vancouver Whitecaps would obtain these rights, a key element in finalizing the transfer. Los Angeles FC has reportedly withdrawn from the competition for the seasoned forward, leaving Vancouver as the leading contender. Sources indicate that the negotiations are now down to finalizing minor details.
The projected contract length being discussed is reportedly until the end of the 2026 season.
Müller has previously signaled his interest in a move to North America, although an official confirmation of the talks has not yet been released.
