Thomas Müller sets bold targets ahead of MLS debut with Inter Miami

Thomas Müller sets his sights high for MLS debut with Inter Miami

Thomas Müller has laid out his ambitions for his Major League Soccer campaign with Inter Miami, targeting goals and influence in his new league. The German midfield maestro, now 33, spoke on his move to the U.S. ahead of his first season stateside.

What did Müller say about his MLS goals?

Müller told reporters he’s aiming to score goals and make an impact in MLS, framing his move as a fresh challenge. “I want to contribute right away,” he said. “Goals are part of my game-I’ll keep chasing them.” The 2020 Ballon d’Or nominee added he’s excited by the league’s pace and physicality.

Why this move matters for Thomas Müller

At 33, Müller leaves Bayern Munich after 17 years, where he won 11 Bundesliga titles and the 2020 Champions League. His arrival in MLS marks a rare top-level transfer for the 33-year-old, who’s chasing a new kind of legacy. Inter Miami’s ambitions-backed by Messi and Suárez-raise the stakes for his debut.

What’s next for Müller in the U.S.?

Müller’s first MLS fixtures loom in late July, with Inter Miami set to face rivals like LAFC on July 27. He’ll line up alongside Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, aiming to lift the Leagues Cup in August. “We’ll see how it goes,” he said. “But I’m ready to fight for every point.”

The German playmaker’s move follows his Bayern exit in June 2025, capping a club career that included 548 appearances and 218 goals. Now, he’s trading Bavarian dominance for American ambition-with a clear goal: win on the pitch.
