Thomas Müller is set to leave Bayern Munich when his contract expires this summer but his future is still unclear amid links to other European clubs and MLS.
If it were up to Jürgen Klinsmann, who coached Müller in Munich in 2008 and 2009 and led the U.S. men’s national team from 2011-2016, a move stateside makes most sense.
“I think that once Thomas finishes the season and really thinks about his next step, he’ll be able to play a role,” Klinsmann told Sky Sports. “American soccer, this league, has developed really well…It’s now a league with 30 teams, 15 in the East, 15 in the West, and it has truly grown and improved in terms of quality.”
While Klinsmann was wary of calling up too many MLS players during his tenure with the national team, he remains a strong advocate for American soccer and how the top division has progressed since he left his post at U.S. Soccer.
