Before his last Bundesliga game on Saturday with FC Bayern Munich and the subsequent club World Cup in the USA, Thomas Müller has still not decided on his future. “I don’t know yet. There is currently nothing concrete, but of course I have ideas. We keep it exciting,” the 35-year-old told the TV station “Sky”. A change to the North American professional league MLS is conceivable.
The club World Cup with FC Bayern wants to use Müller for further ideas and suggestions. “I think it will show it for the next few weeks. We still have the Club World Cup in front of our chest, it will be an exciting experience. Sure, I also listen to the USA,” said Müller. But he still has no complete strategy. “I was never the guy who said: This is now my only idea and we do that.”
Many MLS prospective customers to Thomas Müller
In the rumor mill, the offensive star has already been associated with the new San Diego FC, FC Dallas, FC Cincinnati and Los Angeles FC. According to information from Transfermarkt.Us, there have been no advanced talks with the latter so far, Cincinnati is said to have already canceled Müller.
If the ex-international opts to switch to the MLS, Cincinnati continues to play a role despite the cancellation. According to the “picture”, the club has the so-called Discovery Rights on the ex-international. Behind it is an exclusive right to negotiate with a player who wants to switch to MLS. Each franchise can rely up to seven players on its secret discovery list, the league pays attention to the authenticity and the affiliation of interest.
However, a change from the 2014 world champion to the USA is still possible. Discovery Rights can be exchanged and bought, as a rule the clubs find an agreement. It was the same with Marco Reus, who initially stood on the Discovery right list at Charlotte FC and later landed at La Galaxy.
He will try to feel what he is missing, even in the time after his career. “There is not this one wish and this dream,” said the Upper Bavarian. For the Munich team, he had played his 750th competitive game against Mönchengladbach (2-0) on Saturday.
