Whitecaps clear to do Thomas Muller deal after ‘discovery rights' agreement with Cincinnati
Vancouver Whitecaps and FC Cincinnati have agreed to terms on a trade that will send Thomas Muller's MLS 'discovery rights' to Vancouver in exchange for up to $400,000 in general allocation money (GAM). The agreement is a major hurdle cleared in the Whitecaps' push to sign the 35-year-old. GAM is an MLS roster accounting function that essentially serves as extra cap space. Advertisement Muller is expected to sign a deal that will not require a designated player (DP) spot in 2025, but would jump to a DP deal in 2026. The Athletic reported on July 28 that the Whitecaps were in talks with Muller over a potential deal, with the move pending an agreement between the Canadian team and FC Cincinnati for Muller's MLS 'discovery' rights. Discovery rights are a mechanism whereby MLS teams claim the right to negotiate with a player. FC Cincinnati previously negotiated with Muller after his representatives reached out to the club last winter. Sources said the asking price for the discovery rights from Cincinnati, which spent months working on the deal for Muller, is in the neighborhood of the $400,000 that Charlotte received from the LA Galaxy for Marco Reus' rights. Cincinnati's co-CEO Jeff Berding said in June the club had made a 'good offer' to Muller. 'We had several discussions with his advisors,' Berding told German outlet Bild. 'In the end, he has many options. We respect if he and his advisors are looking for something else. That's part of the football business.' Muller's departure from Bayern Munich at the end of the 2024-25 season was confirmed in April. He had served the entirety of his 17-year senior career at the Bundesliga club. Muller made 756 appearances for the club, scoring 250 goals. He helped Bayern win 13 Bundesliga titles, eleven of which came in consecutive seasons from 2012 to 2023 in a dominant decade for the Bavarians, and he also won the Champions League in 2013 and 2020. The former Germany international, whose role as a second striker saw him coin the position renowned as 'raumdeuter,' said Bayern 'consciously decided not to negotiate a new contract' and he 'respect(ed) this step'. Despite largely being restricted to a substitute role during the 2024-25 campaign, Muller made 49 appearances in all competitions, providing eight goals and eight assists. Advertisement After limited appearances at the 2024 European Championship, Muller retired from international football. He won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 and earned 131 caps for his country, scoring 45 goals. Analysis by Paul Tenorio Muller certainly becomes one of the biggest names to come to MLS in the latter stages of his career, joining some of the luminaries of the sport. The early days of MLS saw the likes of Hristo Stoichkov and Lothar Matthaus sign in the league, while David Beckham's arrival in 2007 marked a new era. Players like Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Kaka, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and, of course, Lionel Messi have since made moves to the U.S. Muller, 35, will be joining a team with championship aspirations that is currently challenging for first place in the Western Conference. Of the above names, only Beckham won anMLS Cup title.

P&G to increase prices in part due to tariffs as shoppers remain cautious and delay purchases
NEW YORK -- Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble offered an annual earnings outlook that was below analysts' projections and said it would raise prices on about a quarter of its products in the U.S. in part due to higher costs from President Donald Trump's tariffs. The assessment delivered Tuesday comes a day after the Cincinnati-based maker of such products as Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent and Charmin toilet paper, named Shailesh Jejurikar, currently chief operating officer, to succeed Jon Moeller as the company president and CEO, effective Jan. 1, 2026. Moeller, who has been at the company's helm since November 2021, will become P&G's executive chairman. The price increases, which will be implemented starting next month, will be in the mid-single digit percentages and will also be combined with improved features in the products, P&G's Chief Financial Officer Andre Schulten told reporters on a call on Tuesday after the release of its fiscal fourth-quarter results. In April P&G said it was doing whatever it could to reduce higher costs from Trump's expansive tariffs, from shifting sourcing to changing formulation to avoid duties. Back then, Schulten told reporters on a call that the consumer products giant still would likely have to pass on higher prices to shoppers as early as July. P&G on Tuesday estimated that tariffs will increase its costs by about $1 billion before tax for fiscal 2026. The price increases come as P&G said its consumers have become more cautious, digging deeper into their pantry inventory before going on a shopping trip, focusing on larger pack sizes at clubs and focusing on deals. 'The consumer clearly is more selective in terms of shopping behavior in our categories, and we see a desire to find value,' Schulten told reporters Tuesday. But Schulten believes that when price increases are combined with improved features on products they resonate with customers. He declined to give specifics but noted that with its baby care brand Luvs, the company boosted prices while making some improvements a few months ago, and it was able to increase market share. P&G reported net income of $3.62 billion, or $1.48 per share, for the quarter ended June 30. That compares with $3.14 billion, or $1.27 per share, in the year-ago period. Analysts were expecting $1.42 per share, according to FactSet analysts. Sales rose to $20.89 billion, in line with what analysts predicted. That was up from $20.53 billion in the year-ago quarter. For the current year, P&G expects earnings per share in the range of $6.83 to $7.09. That was below the $7.23 per share that analysts predicted. The company expects annual sales to be up anywhere from 1% to 5% for the year.
