Overview
- The Vancouver Whitecaps announced Tuesday that Müller has extended his contract through the MLS sprint season, which runs from February to May 2027 and bridges the league’s switch to a European-style calendar.
- Müller said he still enjoys playing and feels physically fit, and the club quoted sport director Axel Schuster saying Müller has strengthened the team’s winning mentality.
- The 37-year-old has been a key contributor with 45 appearances for Vancouver, scoring 19 goals and supplying about a dozen assists since his August 2025 arrival.
- Müller will remain a Designated Player and his reported 2026 earnings are about US$5.0–5.15 million, meaning his salary is treated outside MLS’s standard salary-cap accounting.
- The extension preserves Vancouver’s title hopes as they lead the Western Conference but does not resolve long-running business issues: the club has been for sale since late 2024 and BC Place and possible relocation to U.S. cities remain unresolved.
