Thomas Muller - Contract option picked up Muller's contract option for 2026 was picked up, Vancouver announced.

Impact Muller's contract option was picked up for 2026, unsurprisingly after the attacker was brilliant since joining Vancouver. In 12 games with the club he scored eight goals and added three assists and led the club to the MLS Cup final. Muller should be in contention for the MVP in 2026 if he can build on a brilliant start in Vancouver.

Impact White assisted Vancouver's lone goal in their loss to Miami in the final on Saturday. He recovered from a hamstring injury to score twice with an assist in three playoff appearances. Despite USMNT duty and injuries, the forward finished among the league's top forwards, with 18 goals and two assists in 24 appearances (including playoffs). Given his status as a likely USMNT World Cup pick, he's expected to return in 2026 with improved stats if he stays healthy.
