What happened: Thomas Müller has agreed to a contract extension with the Vancouver Whitecaps. The German opted to continue his playing career rather than retire. The deal keeps him in MLS through the 2027 season.

Why it matters: The extension secures an experienced forward for Vancouver. Müller has embraced the city and the club since his arrival. He was recently named to the Team of the Matchday following a match against DC United.

What to watch: Vancouver will play the majority of their October schedule on the road. The club returns for their next home match on October 28.
