Robert Lewandowski is heading to Major League Soccer. The Polish striker has finalized a free transfer from FC Barcelona to Chicago Fire FC, signing a two-year contract that will keep him in the Windy City through 2028.
The formal announcement came on June 29, 2026, capping off a courtship that stretched back months.
How the deal came together
Negotiations between the club and Lewandowski’s camp began as early as December 2025, a full six months before the deal was officially announced.
The club publicly confirmed its interest in the striker back in May 2026.
