Overview

• Müller has been granted use of Bayern’s Säbener Straße facilities and completed a 45-minute individual session of running, passing and coordination drills with rehab coach Simon Martinello.
• The Whitecaps are poised to sign Müller to a two-year contract after acquiring his MLS discovery rights through league-mediated negotiations with FC Cincinnati.
• Vancouver paid up to $400,000 in General Allocation Money to secure those discovery rights and clear the way for formal negotiations.
• By reallocating the salary budget vacated by Sam Adekugbe’s long-term Achilles injury, the club boosted Müller’s 2025 earnings to around €600,000 and has slated him as a Designated Player in 2026 with an annual wage of up to €6 million.
• The move brings to a close Müller’s 17-year senior tenure at Bayern, where he set the club appearance record, won two Champions League titles and lifted the 2014 World Cup with Germany.
