Overview
- Reports citing The Athletic and repeated by Ouest-France say Lewandowski will sign a two-year deal with MLS club Chicago Fire after his Barcelona contract expired, but neither club had announced the move.
- The 37-year-old finished the 2025–26 season with Barcelona and scored 19 goals in all competitions for the club.
- Lewandowski is Poland’s record scorer with 89 goals in 167 caps, and he was unable to help the national team qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
- Chicago Fire are currently third in MLS’s Eastern Conference, and the reported signing would add a proven goal scorer to their squad late in the season cycle.
- The transfer would follow a broader pattern of established European stars moving to MLS at the end of their top-flight careers and could force Barcelona to adjust its forward options while raising expectations for Chicago’s short-term competitiveness.
