Robert Lewandowski Set to Join Chicago Fire in Stunning Two-Year Deal Move
Robert Lewandowski is set to join the Chicago Fire on a two-year deal, according to The Athletic. The Polish international visited the Fire's facilities earlier this month and met with head coach Gregg Berhalter. This move comes after Lewandowski's decision to leave Barcelona at the end of his contract, as previously reported by Sky Sports.
Berhalter expressed interest in recruiting world-class players, stating that Lewandowski would be a great signing for both the Chicago Fire and the league. Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona ended earlier this summer, after a four-season stay in which he scored 120 goals in 193 appearances.
The 37-year-old has had a prolific career, scoring 103 goals in 187 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and 344 goals in 375 appearances for Bayern Munich. He has also notched 89 goals in 167 caps for Poland. The Fire, currently sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference, will hope Lewandowski's arrival boosts their fanbase ahead of the opening of their new stadium, McDonald's Park, in 2028.
