Overview

• Vancouver finalized payment of roughly $400,000 to FC Cincinnati for Müller's MLS discovery rights and will officially introduce him on Friday.
• Müller’s deal runs through the end of 2026 under the Designated Player rule, allowing him to earn well above the standard MLS salary cap.
• The Whitecaps sit second in the Western Conference after 25 of 34 games and expect Müller’s vision and leadership to strengthen their playoff bid.
• BC Place’s artificial turf, limited scheduling availability and the ownership group’s ongoing effort to sell the club continue to cast uncertainty over the Whitecaps’ infrastructure.
• Müller is set to make his MLS debut on August 10 at San Jose Earthquakes and his home debut at BC Place against Houston Dynamo on August 17.
