Thomas Müller's Next Chapter: LAFC Poised to Sign the Bayern Legend
The 2014 World Cup winner is preparing for a new adventure in Major League Soccer, as his storied career with Bayern Munich comes to an end.
After confirming in April that he would not continue with the Bavarian club, Thomas Müller is now close to defining his next destination. His participation in the 2025 Club World Cup, where Bayern were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals, marked the symbolic end of an era. Since then, speculation has surrounded the German star's future.
Is Müller Headed to LAFC?
According to Sky Sports Germany, LAFC is nearing a deal with the veteran forward. The Los Angeles-based club is reportedly one of two MLS teams that have shown concrete interest, with negotiations said to be in advanced stages.
Just weeks ago, Philadelphia Union's sporting director Ernst Tanner confirmed they were offered Müller but declined due to his high salary demands. However, that doesn’t seem to deter LAFC, which is willing to meet the financial challenge of bringing a European icon to the league.
When Will It Be Official?
German media report that an official announcement could arrive within the next two weeks. If the move is finalized, Müller would join the growing list of European stars who have made the jump to MLS in recent years, including Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Gareth Bale.

A Final Adventure for a Bayern Legend
At 34 years old, Thomas Müller appears ready to cap his illustrious career with a fresh challenge outside Germany. His potential arrival at LAFC would not only add another marquee name to the MLS but also offer valuable experience to a title-contending squad. After more than 15 years, countless trophies, and a legacy at Bayern Munich, Müller is now looking to leave his mark on American soccer.
