Thomas Müller continues his big football career in North America. The long -time professional of FC Bayern moves to Canada to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
For a long time there was uncertainty about Thomas Müller’s future. Now she is certain: As the club from the Major League Soccer and the 35-year-old announced on Wednesday evening, Müller changes to the Vancouver Whitecaps. In order to be able to make the transfer perfect, the Whitecaps had previously had to buy the right of first refusal to Müller.
Müller does it like Beckenbauer and Matthäus
After 14 years as a professional for FC Bayern, Müller dares an adventure again. It is a step that some legends of the record champion went before him. The first was Franz Beckenbauer, who moved to Cosmos New York in 1977 and played there alongside Pelé. Gerd Müller followed the United States only two years later and ran for Fort Lauderdale. Lothar Matthäus also moved to New York. However, it remained with a short intermezzo for the metro stars.
Müller’s good well -known Bastian Schweinsteiger finally ended his career after a little successful station at Manchester United in the MLS. With the Chicago Fire he experienced a conciliatory end of career.
With Messi and Reus: Müller becomes MLS-Star
Müller also hopes for a nice end to his football work. In addition, he can compete with old acquaintances such as Lionel Messi or Jordi Alba to Inter Miami or his former national team colleague Marco Reus, who switched to La Galaxy in the previous season.
The sporting possibilities of his new club were rather limited in the past. The Vancouver Whitecaps, which have only been playing in the highest division of North America since 2011, often failed in the first round of the playoffs for the championship or did not even qualify for it. After all, the whitecaps are four -time Canadian cup winners. They have won three titles in the past three years.
He has or could get tips on his new home from his team -mate Alphonso Davies. The Canadian international became a professional at the Whitecaps and moved to Munich in 2019. Now Müller goes the opposite way.
