Robert Lewandowski linked to potential Chicago Fire move

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who left FC Barcelona at the end of the 2025/26 season, is the subject of intense transfer speculation. Reports from sources close to MLS side Chicago Fire claim the club intends to announce a two‑year contract for the 37‑year‑old on 22 June, highlighting a comprehensive package that includes family support and lifestyle considerations. Club representatives have said they have presented Lewandowski with a “holistic” offer, while biographer Sebastian Staszewski has disputed the existence of a firm signing date, suggesting that any agreement by that deadline would likely be limited to a marketing deal rather than a playing contract.

Other suitors, including Saudi clubs Al‑Hilal and Al‑Ittihad, have been mentioned in the media with reported salaries of up to €31.8 million per month, but Lewandowski appears to favour a move to the United States, citing the presence of a large Polish community in Chicago. In parallel, the striker has expanded his personal investments, recently ordering a luxury 80‑foot Sunreef catamaran and continuing his involvement in real‑estate, hospitality and venture‑capital projects.

The situation remains fluid, with no official confirmation from either party as of now.
