The ranking of the ten best-selling adidas jerseys in MLS this year puts Müller third, based on sales at MLSstore.com between 1 January and 30 October 2026. Lewandowski’s Chicago Fire shirt comes in fourth, Griezmann’s Orlando City fifth, and Suárez’s Inter Miami eighth.

That order will surprise anyone who followed Müller’s quieter final seasons at Bayern Munich. He arrived in British Columbia last year on a free transfer, a 2014 World Cup winner whose minutes in Germany had been trimmed back long before he was ready to stop playing.

Inter Miami place three names in the top ten (Messi, Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul) and LAFC two (Son and Denis Bouanga). The only American in the list is Philadelphia Union’s 17-year-old Cavan Sullivan, at sixth.

Messi has now topped the chart for a fourth straight season, since his 2023 move to Inter Miami.

Vancouver’s bet on Müller has paid off on the field as well as at the till. The 37-year-old has nine goals and eight assists in twenty-four MLS appearances this season, the club noted when the Whitecaps clinched a fourth consecutive playoff place in October.

His side went on to finish top of the Western Conference for the first time in the club’s history. The seed gives Vancouver home-field advantage throughout the Western Conference bracket.

Chasing a first MLS Cup

Vancouver open their 2026 playoff campaign at home on Sunday, 22 November in the first leg of a best-of-three round-one series at BC Place. Head coach Jesper Sørensen is in his second season in charge, trying to go one step further than last year’s run to the MLS Cup final.

Should the Whitecaps get there, the 2026 MLS Cup final is scheduled for 18 December.
