Marco Reus has expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of Thomas Müller moving to Major League Soccer in the United States and admits they have talked, reported dpa.
"I would love to see him in the league. Maybe it will happen, maybe not," Reus, Müller’s former Germany team-mate, told reporters following his Los Angeles Galaxy team drawing 2-2 against Los Angeles FC on Sunday.
Reus scored both goals in the derby. LAFC are the team most frequently linked in the media with Müller since the announcement of his Bayern Munich exit after the Club World Cup.
When asked how the MLS could benefit from the arrival of a player like Müller, Reus responded: "A lot. Thomas is a great guy with a good character. Always smiling. We’ll see. Hopefully, he has many offers. He said … he wants to keep playing football. In the end, it’s his decision."
Reus, who has been in the US since leaving Borussia Dortmund last year, revealed that he has been in direct contact with the 2014 World Cup winner – but not about the MLS.
"Yes, we had a bit of contact. But not about coming here at all – I just congratulated him on his incredible career in Munich," he said. "It’s unbelievable what the lad has achieved with his easy-going nature. He has always stayed the same."
At Bayern's Bundesliga title party at the Munich city hall on Sunday, Müller, 35, said: "I have, of course, enjoyed all the special moments, but now that we have two weeks off, I’ll have time to let it all sink in.
"We are excited to be part of the Club World Cup (from June 14) and, of course, we want to win it."
What lies ahead for him personally after that remains uncertain. "His only wish is for us to win this Club World Cup. That is the sole focus," said coach Vincent Kompany.
