Thomas Müller does not switch to LA, but to Canada

A ramp sow like Thomas Müller would certainly be in good hands in the epicenter of the entertainment industry, but no, the Bayer will not kick in Los Angeles in the future, but in Canada. It looks like in Vancouver at the Whitecaps, which is also on the sunny west coast.

Nothing is yet ready for saying, but according to everyone that can be heard, only details should be clarified – the striker may have announced that the change for the change for this Monday has announced in a self -produced video.

In the style of the old ARD evening series “Münchner Stories” filmed film, he said: “Today is ‘Saturday, tomorrow Sunday and the day after tomorrow is’ Monday-and then everything is over at once. Then go over the big pond.” An elegantly encrypted message sounds different. Especially since it has been overwhelmed for weeks that Müller would switch to Major Soccer League (MLS) after the end at FC Bayern.

It is surprising that it is not moving to California – Los Angeles FC is a partner club from the Munich. Instead, it goes to Canada. As in other sports, American and Canadian teams also play together in a league in the MLS.

Due to another peculiarity of the US professional port, FC Cincinnati also comes into play at Müller’s move to Vancouver. Because the association has the so -called “Discovery Rights” to Thomas Müller and would receive a kind of transfer compensation in the event of its switch to MLS. There is talk of the equivalent of around 350,000 euros.

Background for this regulation, which is unusual in Europe: US teams may write up to seven player names on a “wish list” on which they would have a right of first refusal in the event of a change to Major Soccer League. This should prevent a bid. However, these wishes are only approved by the association if they remain in a realistic framework.

However, if a player wants to switch to another club, the owner of the “Discovery Rights” receives compensation. Last year, for example, La Galaxy paid a similarly high buzzer to Charlotte FC for the pre-purchase rights for ex-Dortmund Marco Reus.

the 35-year-old Müller is to receive a contract in Vancouver by 2026. The team is currently second in the Western Conference. Sports director Axel Schuster was formerly a manager at Mainz 05 and Schalke 04. Müller’s contract with Bayern Munich ends at the end of this month. He had won more than 20 big titles with the record champions, including the Champions League twice.
