Thomas Müller steps into his last days at FC Bayern as he preps for the Club World Cup (USA, June 14 - July 13). Future plans remain hazy, but Jürgen Klinsmann has a definite idea.
Müller spent his brief vacation golfing, socializing, and supporting his wife Lisa at equestrian events. Amid these activities, the 35-year-old contemplated his post-Bayern journey. During his last hurrah with Bayern, decisions about his summer schedule remain undecided.
One certainty: Müller dons the Red Bayern jersey for the final time at the Club World Cup, joined briefly by Jamal Musiala. Most stars are currently representing their national teams.
"The venue in America excites me. Maybe we set off a small soccer craze, with an eye on the 2026 World Cup. America's football potential is evident. Let's see how it unfolds," Müller shared in his newsletter.
Is MLS Müller's Next Destination?
Long-time gossip dubs a possible MLS stint for Müller post-Club World Cup. Bayern's partner LAFC shows strong interest, with whispers about Cincinnati, San Diego, and Dallas as well.
"All of America would celebrate if he played for another two to three years—a significant boost for MLS," said Jürgen Klinsmann, an American resident. He envisions Müller as the "flagship" of the league alongside superstar Lionel Messi. Given the USA's "football hub" status until the next World Cup, would Müller find himself right in the middle?
Keeping Cryptic for Now
Despite speculation, Müller has not revealed his preferences publicly. For now, he keeps his focus on Bayern's Club World Cup run, particularly the preliminary round against Auckland, Benfica Lisbon, and Boca Juniors.
"Tournaments like the World Cup, European Championship, or Club World Cup intrigue: you collaborate intensely," declared Müller. "Victory is the goal—even if there's a potential $110 million FIFA bonus for the first-time winners!" Should Müller secure another title, he will surpass Toni Kroos as the most decorated German footballer with 35 titles. But, additional trophies could be in store.
