Know the Rumors - His Next Stop
However, there's more to Müller's story than just his emotional goodbye. His future club remains shrouded in mystery, although it's believed he'll move to the United States rather than stay in Europe. Los Angeles FC (LAFC) has emerged as a strong contender, given their existing partnership with Bayern Munich. Bayern sees LAFC as a means to strengthen their global reach, and Müller may play an instrumental role off the field too, helping Bayern identify talented newcomers [1][4].
Still, Müller has apparently refused FC Cincinnati's offer, despite holding the MLS discovery rights. Some believe Cincinnati's roster restrictions and team dynamics might have influenced this decision, making LAFC a more enticing option [2][4].
There are also whispers of possible European deals, like Fiorentina in Italy's Serie A, as well as interest from clubs in England and Turkey. But so far, these seem less plausible than the MLS move [3][5].
In a nutshell, Thomas Müller's probable next destination is likely Los Angeles FC in MLS, with a move expected around summer 2025 [1][2][4][5].
- The Commission has also been consulted on the draft decision on the application of the Regulation regarding Thomas Müller's transfer to Los Angeles FC in the Major League Soccer (MLS).
