Chicago Fire Signs USMNT Midfielder Kellyn Acosta

The Chicago Fire has finalized the signing of Kellyn Acosta, marking a significant move in their team rebuild.

Kellyn Acosta, a key player for the US men's national team, has been signed by the Chicago Fire after his contract with LAFC expired.
Acosta has made 58 appearances for the USMNT, including two at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and is a likely candidate for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The midfielder has a rich MLS history, with 252 regular-season appearances and contributions to multiple MLS Cup finals.
Chicago Fire views Acosta as a central figure in their rebuild, following a disappointing 2023 season.
The signing is part of an ambitious offseason for Chicago, which also includes a club-record transfer for Belgian striker Hugo Cuypers.
