THE BIGGER PICTURE
Muller has talked up the prospect of moving to MLS for some time and has reportedly been in talks with LAFC, though negotiations have reportedly stalled. Cincinnati, having also been linked with him, could begin talks with him if he decides against moving to Los Angeles and it sounds like the club made a good first impression on the veteran forward.
WHAT MULLER SAID
Muller said: "You have to say, the entire stadium and the spectators were there very well too. They have very good conditions here, you have to say."
