According to GiveMeSport, Cincinnati will receive $400,000 in guaranteed allocated money after letting go of Müller's rights, which allowed the club to negotiate with players.

Now, according to Give Me Sport, the Whitecaps are finalizing a deal to sign Müller.

Müller, an icon of German football, would thus leave Bayern after a lifetime linked to the Bavarian club, marking one of the most media-covered moves in the MLS in recent years.

Bayern Munich have agreed to a €75 million ($88 million) deal to sign winger Luis Díaz from Liverpool, sources told ESPN. Díaz missed Liverpool's friendly defeat against AC Milan on Saturday due to ongoing speculation linking him with a move away from Anfield this summer and has now been granted permission to leave the Reds' preseason tour of Asia.

Liverpool will be weaker without him.

This comes after Bayern Munich reached an agreement with Liverpool to sign Diaz for a reported €75m (£65.5m).
