There is exciting news for all football fans in Munich: Thomas Müller (36) is about to return to Germany. The former FC Bayern Munich star has lived in Vancouver, Canada, since August 2023, where he plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps.

He is particularly looking forward to the Christmas season and German cuisine, in particularSchupfnudeln with sauerkraut, which bring him very special feelings of home, like this Evening newspaper reported.

Müller's path to Vancouver was anything but ordinary. Before he moved there, he lived on a stud farm in Otterfing near Munich and had an apartment in the Gärtnerplatzviertel. His decision to take on the challenge of Major League Soccer caused quite a stir, especially since his wife Lisa Müller did not move to Vancouver with him.

With 131 appearances and 45 goals for the German national team, he is a key figure in the history of German football.

This season, Müller is under contract with FC Vancouver Whitecaps until the end of the 2025 season, with an option for 2026.

In an interview he admitted that he sometimes...lonelinessfeels, which is no wonder in a new environment. He is expected in Vancouver next Wednesday, where a press conference and his first training session are already planned for Thursday.
