German veteran Thomas Müller has officially joined Vancouver Whitecaps FC, ending his 25-year tenure with Bayern Munich. Müller signed with the MLS side after being a free agent.
The Whitecaps acquired Müller's discovery rights from FC Cincinnati for around $400,000, paving the way for the striker's move to Vancouver.
Müller will join the Vancouver Whitecaps immediately and be available for the remainder of the 2025 season. The team is currently second in the Western Conference standings with 24 matches played, trailing leaders San Diego by just one point while having a game in hand.
The 35-year-old's contract includes an option to become a Designated Player in 2026, indicating that he'll likely remain with the club until at least the end of next year.
“I’m looking forward to coming to Vancouver to help this team win a championship,” Muller said.
“I’ve heard great things about the city, but first and foremost I’m coming to win. I’ve had great conversations with Axel Schuster (CEO) and Jesper Sorensen (manager), and now I can’t wait to play in front of the supporters and to see all of the fans come out to BC Place as we head towards the playoffs.”
