Robert Lewandowski, one of the most prolific goal scorers in European football history, has agreed to join Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire FC on a two-year contract.
Lewandowski became a free agent in June 2026 after his contract with FC Barcelona expired. The 37-year-old is heading to Chicago.
What we know about the deal
The agreement is reportedly for two years with an option for a third season. Salary estimates place the deal in the range of €10 million to €15 million net per year, making it one of the richest contracts in MLS history.
Lewandowski and his longtime agent Pini Zahavi visited Chicago Fire’s training facility around June 12-13, 2026. Chicago Fire made an official two-year offer, and the club has been prioritizing this signing as a way to dramatically elevate its profile within the league.
