Celebrated German footballer Thomas Mueller joins Vancouver Whitecaps FC

Thomas Müller, a German soccer legend, embarked on a new chapter in his illustrious career in August 2025, joining the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the Major League Soccer (MLS). After a 25-year association with Bayern Munich, Müller became a free agent and signed with the Whitecaps FC for the remainder of the 2025 season, with a Designated Player option for 2026 [2][5].

Müller's MLS debut was recent, and as such, detailed MLS career stats and major achievements are yet to be established. His impact and contributions to the Whitecaps FC remain to be seen as he begins his MLS journey.

However, Müller's career legacy is already etched in history, particularly during his time at Bayern Munich. He scored around 250 goals and provided over 230 assists in more than 750 appearances [1][2]. Müller is Bayern’s all-time record appearance holder and holds the record for the most Bundesliga titles won by a single player (13) [1][2].

Müller's accolades at Bayern Munich are numerous. He won two UEFA Champions League titles (2013, 2020), two UEFA Super Cups, two FIFA Club World Cups, six DFB-Pokals, and eight DFL-Supercups [1][2][3]. In the Bundesliga alone, he had 150 goals and 178 assists, leading in goal involvements since data collection began in 1992 [1][3].

Known for his versatility, Müller plays as an attacking midfielder or forward and is widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation [2]. He also holds records in the UEFA Champions League as Germany’s top goalscorer and assist provider (56 goals and 30 assists) [2].

Müller joins Vancouver Whitecaps FC with the aim of continuing to compete for titles and making significant contributions to his new club [5]. He has been given the nickname "Radio Muller" for his incessant chatter on the field and is popular across the world, having nearly 15 million Instagram followers.

Müller's move to MLS marks him as part of a line of German soccer stars pursuing the American Dream in the league. His presence alone has helped Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga to grow. It remains to be seen how Müller will fare in the MLS, but his career achievements at Bayern Munich speak volumes of his talent and potential.
