Thomas Muller was proposed to Philadelphia Union, but the financial aspect makes the transfer impossible for them, as revealed by Ernst Tanner, sporting director of Philadelphia Union. Tanner mentioned that Muller was offered to the club, but with their focus on youth development and having the second lowest budget in the league, signing a high-profile player like Muller was not feasible. Tanner also noted that clubs like Los Angeles FC, New York, or Inter Miami, especially LAFC due to their partnership with Bayern Munich, would be more suitable destinations for Muller.
