It seems that Thomas Muller’s legendary career with Bayern Munich is close to its end, as the German star is close to going into a new experience in the American Football League, amid advanced negotiations leading him towards Vancouver Whitecag.
Canadian offer details of Muller
The Canadian Vancouver Wikabis Club entered serious conversations to include Thomas Muller with a contract that extends until the end of 2026, after 25 years of brilliance with Bayern Munich. German sources indicate that the negotiations are going in the right direction, but the final agreement is still linked to the solution of the “discovery rights” crisis owned by the Cincinnati Club in the American League.
Why did Los Angeles FC withdraw from the deal?
Although Bayern Munich’s official partner in the United States, Los Angeles FC withdrew from the race to contract with Muller. The reason is due to the stumbling of its negotiations with the Cincinnati Club, which adheres to obtaining a high money in exchange for the player’s rights. It is said that the financial demands go beyond what Los Angeles Galaxy to obtain the rights of Marco Royce, which complicated the process.
Does Vancouver find a solution to the financial crisis?
Although Vancouver Whitecaps currently does not have a vacant place on the list of “distinguished players”, the club management is studying alternative options to complete the deal. One of these solutions includes resorting to “specific financial allocations”, similar to the transfer of Rodrigo de Paul to Inter Miami. The action comes to compensate for the departure of Stewart Armstrong, giving the Muller deal a great strategic dimension.
Is Sydney FC a real competitor?
While the US League administration is closely following the situation, for fear of losing the deal, an Australian club appeared in the picture. Sydney FC has made official interest in the inclusion of Thomas Muller during the past days, raising the possibility of the player to leave the American market if the crisis is not rapidly resolved.
Cinnati’s position disrupts the decisiveness
The most prominent obstacle is to refuse Centuti to abandon the “discovery rights” without obtaining a money that exceeds expectations. This prompted several clubs such as Philadelphia Union to withdraw from the deal because of Muller’s financial conditions, while Vancouver is hesitating to pay the required amount, despite his progress on the rest of the competitors.
