Bayern Munich player Thomas Muller hints towards Inter Milan
Thomas Müller's Future Uncertain as He Leaves Bayern Munich for MLS
Thomas Müller, the 22-year-old German forward who had a breakout season in 2009/2010, has announced his departure from Bayern Munich after a 25-year career with the club. Müller has signed a two-year deal with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Vancouver Whitecaps, starting in 2025[1][2][3].
Müller's decision comes after Bayern announced they would not renew his contract, a move that has sparked speculation about his future. Reports suggest that Inter Milan has made an offer for Müller's services[4]. However, no credible sources have confirmed an agreement between the two parties.
Müller's comments in Sport Bild have added fuel to the speculations, with the forward admitting that the lack of playing time is a problem for him. He expressed concerns about his current status at Bayern Munich, stating that he wants to play regularly[4].
Müller started the current season as a first team regular at Bayern, but towards the end of the season, he found himself on the bench in several high-profile games. His goal in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich was not enough to secure the title, and his performance in the season has been disappointing for both Müller and the club[5].
Despite the disappointing season, Müller helped Germany win third place at the 2010 World Cup, where he scored five goals. His performance at the tournament finals was one of the highlights of his career, as he scored a hat-trick in the quarter-final match against Argentina[6].
Müller's departure from Bayern was reportedly handled with some communication issues, but he did not express regret about leaving. His next career step is to join MLS as a high-profile acquisition for Vancouver, aiming to boost the club's competitiveness[4][1].
