Bayern aims for Jamal Musiala's return by the end of 2025 after breaking leg at Club World Cup
MUNICH (AP) — Jamal Musiala is still using crutches after breaking his leg at the Club World Cup but Bayern Munich hopes he'll be back by the end of the year. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder was stretchered off in pain after colliding with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as his team lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals this month. 'Jamal still has crutches but the process is very, very positive,' Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said Thursday at an event to present new signing Luis Díaz. Eberl added that the club expects Musiala could return around the same time as wing back Alphonso Davies. The Canadian player has been out since sustaining a severe knee ligament injury with his national team in March, but Eberl said he had his 'first exercises on the field' Thursday. 'So far there have been no complications with both of them. We need to knock on wood that it stays that way and then we obviously hope that they will be available at the end of the year,' Eberl said. ___ AP soccer:

The idea of bringing the Bayern Munich legend to Vancouver, let alone Major League Soccer, seemed dead when presented to Caps CEO Axel Schuster dismissed the idea, saying it didn't fit the team's current roster construction model. But Transfermarkt scoops guru Manuel Veth reported Saturday that the move wasn't completely dead and, in fact, Vancouver had become the odds-on favourite to land the 35-year-old Müller, who has spent the last 17 years cementing himself as one of the Bundesliga team's greatest all-time players. The rumours started flying of Müller's move to MLS during the All-Star festivities earlier this week, and the German international confirmed it after posting a video saying retirement wasn't an option, and his future lay elsewhere.

But Cincy was seemingly rebuffed as a destination by Müller, and trade talks began in earnest. Los Angeles FC cropped up as the next likely landing spot, but they have shifted their attention to Tottenham Hotspur winger Heung-Min Son. The Philadelphia Union were another possibility, but the team balked at the idea of paying wages amounting to US$9 to $10 million per year, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, with Union sporting director Ernst Tanner calling them 'unthinkable.' The biggest hurdle, Veth reported, was the amount of money Cincinnati wants for the discovery rights, saying they want more than the $400,000 the LA Galaxy paid Charlotte FC for Marco Reus' discovery rights last year.

If Müller were to sign in Vancouver, it would easily be the biggest signing in team's tenure, and rank as one of the largest sporting moves in the city's history. As for the roster construction model, the Whitecaps have currently declared to be following the U22 model — meaning two Designated Players and four U22 players. The Caps currently have Ryan Gauld and Andres Cubas as DP, while Édier Ocampo and the newly acquired Kenji Cabrera make up the U22 players. But they can switch their declaration to the DP-heavy model — three DPs and three U22 players — up until the end of the Secondary Transfer Window on Aug. 21, making room for Müller.

🎥 Bayern stars pay homage to departed star Thomas Müller
Few names are more synonymous with global giant Bayern Munich than Thomas Müller. Enshrined in club lore after making over 750 appearances and hitting 250 goals across all competitions in 17 seasons, the Bavarian-born star is now a man departed as he looks for pastures new to continue his legendary career. Though he will no longer don the famous garbs of Germany's biggest club, Müller's now former teammates can't help but gush at what he has meant to the club and them individually as they sat down with internal media to describe 'Radio Müller.' The likes of compatriots Jamal Musiala, Leon Goretzka, Manuel Neuer, Serge Gnabry, and star Canadian defender Alphonso Davies used descriptors such as 'legend,' 'unique,' and 'winner' when referencing Müller's presence in the team. Gone he may be, but Müller's name will forever be cemented in the very fabric of one of football's greatest institutions. 📸 PAUL ELLIS - AFP or licensors
