Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Müller might be kickin' it with Disney's fave pals Mickey and Goof after the Club World Cup round in sweltering Orlando, but his future beyond the German football titans remains up in the air.
With Thomas Müller (35) unwinding after a training session with Disney's duo, he shared hints about his career post-FC Bayern Munich. As his contract concludes following the Club World Cup, the Bayern stalwart pondered his future with a wry grin.
"I'm as chill as a summer breeze about it. Even if something's cooking regarding my professional future during this tournament, I got this, mate!" Müller quipped. Will he call time on his career with Bayern? Or will he rock the Major League Soccer (MLS)?
Müller offered no concrete answers upon arriving in Florida. "I've got my mind on my game, and my game's on my future, especially the one that's swiftly approachin' here at the Club World Cup," the veteran playmaker said. The 35-year-old revealed his thoughts were parlayed into action during the showpiece, with a possible finale on July 13 serving as a prime opportunity for window-shopping.
On June 6 (6 p.m. on Sat.1, DAZN, and ntv.de live ticker), Bayern kicks off the group stage of the 32-club World Cup by faced off against Auckland City in Cincinnati. In case you're new to the lingo, Müller is alluding to the stateside tour as his chance to snoop around potential locales for his post-Bayern life.
"Ain't no doubt about it, this U.S. joyride's a gold mine for me, too. Especially if we roll deep enough in this tournament, we'll be rubbin' elbows with diverse parts of the U.S," Müller continued. "And who knows? I might drop by Los Angeles to mosey around a bit and check out the scene."
Entertainment behemoth LAFC's been keepin' a keen eye on the Bayern forward, sources say. Add to that, Thomas's interest in the LA pictures of immigrant rights protests surely didn't go unnoticed. "Of course, you can't miss the turmoil, pal. It's as clear as day," he said.
Müller acknowledged that while he's aware of the political climate, he prides himself on separating public affairs from his personal and professional life. "Let's face it — life today's a rollercoaster ride. World events are shakin' things up, no question. But they ain't connectin' to my ball-related plans," he stated.
He even broached the subject of the shooting in Graz while boardin' the plane to the U.S. "I've got my radar up, sure. But I ain't lettin' it cloud my vision," Müller said in general terms about potential distractions in the world.
Sidenote: Thomas, we love your grammar, mate. It's a breath of fresh air 'ere, no worries.
So, there ya have it, folks. The future of our beloved Thomas Müller is more uncertain than the next corner flag decision, but one thing's for sure: he's got his eye on the ball and the USA.
Stay tuned for more Müller tidbits, and don't forget to join the conversation! If you've got a biting wit and a love for the beautiful game, feel free to drop a comment elsewhere on this page.

- Enrichment Data:Thomas Müller, after 25 years with Bayern Munich, finds himself out of contract following the Club World Cup, with his future still undecided as of June 2025.[2][1][4] Müller has expressed his time with Bayern will indeed come to an end after this tournament, and he is weighing his options for the next stage of his career, with a potential move to Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States widely speculated, particularly with links to LAFC or LA Galaxy[2][3][4]. However, as of now, no deal with LAFC has been finalized, and previous reports suggesting Chicago Fire interest were also not pursued[4].
During Bayern’s extended stay in the U.S. for the Club World Cup, Müller has described himself as “totally relaxed” about his future and focused on the tournament, while acknowledging that the U.S. trip is also an opportunity to explore possibilities for life after Bayern[1][2]. He has noted that the media might know about his next move before he does, hinting at the uncertainty and external speculation surrounding his decision[2].
Regarding the political climate in the U.S. – specifically, questions about Donald Trump's deportation policy and recent unrest in Los Angeles – Müller has stated that while he is aware of current events, he tries to separate political issues from his personal and professional decisions[3]. He remarked:
Müller emphasized that global events are often unsettling, but for him, they do not directly influence his career choices or plans to potentially play in the U.S.[3]. There is no public record of Müller specifically commenting on Donald Trump’s deportation policy in Los Angeles, but his general stance is that while he is aware and reflective about world events, they are not a decisive factor in his deliberations about his footballing future.
"The Commission, in light of Müller's pondering future endeavors, might consider submitting a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, as he mulls over potential opportunities that extend beyond the football field, such as a move to Los Angeles."
"Meanwhile, Müller might find time between the Club World Cup matches to enjoy some sports other than football, perhaps catching a local game of football (soccer) in Los Angeles, given his interest in the city."
