TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing
A Bayern Munich and German national team legend has arrived in MLS, as Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced on Wednesday they've signed attacking midfielder Thomas Müller as a free agent.
Müller is under contract for the remainder of the 2025 season with a Designated Player option for 2026.
To complete the deal, Vancouver acquired Müller's Discovery Priority from FC Cincinnati in exchange for up to $400,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM). That transaction includes $300k guaranteed GAM across this season and next, as well as $100k conditional GAM.
"Thomas is a world-class player – the ultimate Raumdeuter; interpreter of space – known for his elite chance creation, unmatched spatial awareness, and relentless off-the-ball movement," said Axel Schust
