Thomas Müller extends contract with Vancouver Whitecaps through 2027
Thomas Müller has signed a contract extension with the Vancouver Whitecaps, committing to the Canadian club as a Designated Player through the 2027 Sprint Season. The 37-year-old German forward, who joined the team in August 2025, has been a central figure in the club's recent success, including their first MLS Cup final appearance and winning the Western Conference and Canadian Championship in 2025.
Following the announcement, Müller shared his perspectives on the current state of German football during a podcast appearance. He noted that the national team appears to be struggling with identity and mentality, suggesting that the squad lacks the decisive, competitive edge that previously defined the German style of play. Despite these criticisms, Müller expressed confidence in new German national team coach Jürgen Klopp, describing him as a strong blend of modern and traditional coaching styles.
