Thomas Müller Commits to Second Vancouver Season Ahead of Sold-Out LAFC Playoff

The move underscores his rapid shift from summer signing to focal point of a playoff push at a sold‑out BC Place.

Overview

  • Müller confirmed to Kicker he will stay with the Whitecaps for a second year, answering "Ja – volle Attacke" to a question about 2026.
  • Vancouver hosts Los Angeles FC this weekend in a single-elimination Western Conference quarterfinal, with BC Place sold out at about 55,000.
  • Since arriving in the summer, he has produced roughly nine goals and four assists in about ten competitive matches.
  • Positioning himself as a senior voice, Müller said he delivers "more naked truths" to raise standards in a squad he described as very close-knit.
  • Media reports describe a 2025 TAM contract with an option or path to Designated Player status in 2026, with salary figures reported but not confirmed by the club.
