Thomas Müller Poised for MLS Move Following Bayern Munich Departure
Mansion Sports - Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller is reportedly on the verge of taking a significant new step in his football career, with strong indications pointing to a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) this summer.
Fresh reports from Germany suggest that the veteran forward’s transition to the United States is drawing closer to completion.
The End of a Historic Era After 25 Years at Bayern Munich
Thomas Müller, now 35 years old, has officially ended his remarkable tenure at Bayern Munich after more than two decades with the Bavarian club he joined as a youth.
While his contract expired on June 30, Müller opted to extend his stay briefly to aid Bayern in securing a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals.
Following a 2–0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in what became his final appearance for the club, Müller addressed the media with candor, admitting uncertainty about what lies ahead. “I want to sort everything out in the next few weeks.
But if no option feels like the right fit, retirement might be on the table. We’ll see. I’m trying to stay comfortable, even in uncomfortable circumstances,” he remarked.
MLS Emerges as the “Perfect” Next Chapter
The “ideal solution” Müller referred to now appears to be a move to the United States. According to reports from Sky Sport Germany, the versatile attacker is close to finalizing a deal with an MLS club, with the transfer expected to be completed within the next 10 days.
Two MLS teams are said to be engaged in serious negotiations, with Los Angeles FC (LAFC) emerging as a strong contender.
The second club remains undisclosed amid ongoing speculation. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Union have ruled themselves out of the running, contrasting with FC Cincinnati’s active interest.
FC Cincinnati CEO Jeff Berding voiced his enthusiasm publicly, stating: “We are a club with strong German roots and a winning mentality. Thomas is a proven champion, and we believe he would be a great fit with us. It’s not over until he signs with another team.”
Müller Dismisses Return to European Football, Especially Manchester United
Despite wild speculation about a possible return to European football, including links to a high-profile move to Manchester United, Müller was quick to shut down such rumors with a light-hearted tone.
“Now? No, no. I’m not the right person for them, and they’re not the right club for me. They wouldn’t be happy, and I wouldn’t be happy, so we’re just not a good match,” he quipped with a laugh.
With those words, Müller made it clear that a return to Europe is not in his plans, further fueling expectations that MLS will be his next destination.
All signs now point to a new chapter in Thomas Müller’s illustrious career, one that could see him bring his leadership, experience, and winning pedigree to American soil. As one of German football’s most iconic figures, his arrival would undoubtedly be a landmark moment for Major League Soccer.
