This article was originally published on www.si.com as Vancouver Whitecaps ‘Finalizing’ Huge Deal for Thomas Muller. The Vancouver Whitecaps are nearing a deal to sign former Bayern Munich player Thomas Müller after reaching an principle agreement for the player’s discovery rights, reports have confirmed.

Muller is expected to sign a deal that will not require a designated player (DP) spot in 2025, but would jump to a DP deal in 2026.

It seems to be a matter of when, not if Thomas Müller will join the Vancouver Whitecaps. They're finalizing a deal.
