Aberdeen have completed the signing of goalkeeper Marius Muller from VfL Wolfsburg on a two-year contract. The 33-year-old arrives at Pittodrie to bolster the Scottish Premiership side's goalkeeping options.
The German explained he consulted former loanee Denis Geiger, who spent last season with the Dons, before making the move. "It feels nice to be here," Muller told club media. "It's all moved very quickly, but I'm happy to be in Scotland. I hope to bring quality to the team through my experience and mentality. As a goalkeeper, you know the moments when you have to stay calm and help to lead the team."
Muller also stressed the importance of a strong bond with supporters: "We have to be one team – the players and the supporters in the stands. I hope they will see that I will give my all. They will see that I love to celebrate with them. I want to see a lot of fireworks this season. I hope we have plenty to celebrate and we'll see what the season brings."
Manager Stephen Robinson hailed the new recruit's pedigree. "Marius is an experienced goalkeeper who has consistently performed at a high level throughout his career," he said. "He'll add real competition, experience and leadership to our goalkeeping group. We believe his character and professionalism will be a real asset to the squad, both on and off the pitch."
Muller began his career at Kaiserslautern and also played for RB Leipzig and Schalke in his homeland, before a four-year spell at Swiss club Luzern, where he won the Swiss Cup in 2021. He moves to Pittodrie after two years at Wolfsburg, bringing a wealth of experience to Robinson's squad as they prepare for the new campaign.
