At 36, Thomas Müller is now continuing his career in MLS with the Vancouver Whitecaps, after winning everything with Bayern Munich. However, the German could have experienced a very different trajectory when leaving the Bavarian club: that leading to FC Barcelona, ​​a club against which he often shone (8 goals and 2 assists in 10 matches). Although no concrete offer has been made, the presence of his former coach Hansi Flick and his ex-teammate Robert Lewandowski could have opened the door to a transfer to Catalonia, according to the person himself.

“I could have imagined a future in Barcelona, ​​yes”confided the 2014 world champion in the show Blickpunkt Sport. “If Hansi Flick, who knows me very well, had called me, and I had liked the project in Barcelona, ​​I could have considered something like that. It's a top club where you know what people expect from you. » Müller's profile, a hard-working and goalscoring attacking midfielder, corresponds perfectly to a key role in Barça's system, currently contested between Fermín and a Dani Olmo often hampered by injuries.
