Thomas Müller's future in football is shrouded in intrigue, as the German star appears to be considering a move to the Major League Soccer (MLS). Los Angeles FC (LAFC) has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to secure the services of the Bayern Munich veteran, with a deal reportedly close to completion.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Müller could receive a salary of around €4 million per year, under MLS's Designated Player Rule. This figure would make Müller one of the highest-paid players in the league, reflecting the significance of his potential move.
LAFC's financial position has strengthened following the sale of Olivier Giroud, which has freed up funds for the club to invest in high-profile signings. Other MLS teams, such as FC Cincinnati, have also expressed interest and made offers, acknowledging Müller's credentials and seeing him as a player who could fit well within their clubs.
Müller, who is 35 years old and has played a total of 756 competitive games for Bayern Munich over a span of 25 years, has not yet made a final decision regarding his future. He has openly dismissed the idea of moving to Manchester United, instead focusing on options including MLS and other "exotic" leagues. He also downplayed rumors linking him to Inter Miami and Lionel Messi, suggesting those reports may be premature or not reflective of his plans.
Despite the lack of explicit comments from Jürgen Klinsmann and Uli Hoeneß regarding Müller's MLS move, it is clear that Müller's planned farewell from Bayern Munich following the 2025 Club World Cup aligns with strategic considerations both for his playing career and potential future roles within the club.
Müller, who is still in "work mode" and is processing the events of his last game for Bayern Munich, is advised by Klinsmann to consider a move to the USA. Klinsmann, who coached the US national team after his tenure at Munich, believes Müller could push soccer in the USA like Lionel Messi and Marco Reus, should he end up in Los Angeles.
As the MLS season approaches, the football world eagerly awaits Müller's decision, with LAFC hoping to secure a deal that would not only bolster their squad but also attract more fans to the burgeoning league.
