The 35-year-old recently bid farewell to Bayern after their FIFA Club World Cup campaign.&nbsp;<\/p><p>He then confirmed via a video message that he is &ldquo;headed across the pond.&rdquo; Thus, signaling his move to North America. While Los Angeles FC and FC Cincinnati were long considered frontrunners, Vancouver seem to have emerged as the one securing Muller&rsquo;s signature.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Reportedly, Whitecaps reached an agreement with FC Cincinnati to acquire Muller&rsquo;s MLS discovery rights. It is a prerequisite for signing foreign players. According to GIVEMESPORT, the Whitecaps will pay $400,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) to Cincinnati for the rights.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;&#127464;&#127462; Thomas M&uuml;ller to Vancouver Whitecaps, here we go!

Additionally, they had a pressing need for defensive reinforcements and lacked an open Designated Player (DP) spot. They also weren&rsquo;t actively seeking high-profile attacking talent.&nbsp;<\/p><p>However, interest from Australian side Sydney FC raised urgency. As a result, MLS and Vancouver fast-tracked negotiations to avoid losing the 2014 World Cup winner to another league. Though FC Cincinnati and LAFC both expressed interest, negotiations proved difficult.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/inter-miami-furious-over-lionel-messi-and-jordi-albas-suspension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Inter Miami Furious Over Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba&rsquo;s Suspension<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>LAFC was Muller&rsquo;s preferred destination but reportedly, they shifted focus to Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-Min Son after failing to strike a deal with Cincinnati.

He has won 12 Bundesliga titles, two Champions League trophies, and has over 500 goal contributions (250 goals and 276 assists) for Bayern Munich.<\/p><p>Undoubtedly, he brings unmatched pedigree to Vancouver&rsquo;s squad. The Whitecaps are currently second in the Western Conference. They are also finalists in this season&rsquo;s CONCACAF Champions Cup. They are looking at Muller as a pivotal addition in their push for silverware.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Reportedly, the German star also consulted Bastian Schweinsteiger before finalizing his decision. Muller&rsquo;s Germany national team and Bayern teammate ended his career in MLS with Chicago Fire. If all goes to plan, Muller could make his debut as early as August 9 against San Jose.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German Legend Departs Bayern Munich After 25 Years To Begin a New Chapter in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":77102,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4039,4038],"tags":[3883,760,5333,4114],"class_list":["post-77100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mls-soccer","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich","tag-mls","tag-thomas-muller","tag-vancouver-whitecaps"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Thomas Muller Joins Vancouver Whitecaps in Landmark MLS Move - Report - The Playoffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Thomas Muller joins MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps after 25 years at Bayern.
