Chicago Fire is intensifying its efforts to secure a deal for football star Robert Lewandowski, marking a significant step in the club’s ambition to attract global icons to the Major League Soccer franchise. This development was reported by prominent insider Fabrizio Romano.
The club is reportedly in a strong position to sign Lewandowski, captain of the Polish national team, once his current contract with Barcelona comes to an end. Chicago Fire is reportedly ready to offer the striker an annual salary of approximately €20 million.
For the past three years, the club had focused its efforts on signing Neymar, but the Brazilian opted to return to Brazil. With Neymar off the table, Lewandowski has now taken precedence in Chicago Fire’s recruitment strategy. Should negotiations prove successful, he may become the club’s new star player, bringing high-profile visibility to the league.
