Former FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski is set to join Chicago Fire on a free transfer, according to reports.
Lewandowski, 37, is set to part ways with Barcelona after four years at the Camp Nou upon the expiry of his contract.
He netted 19 goals in 46 appearances last season, helping the Blaugrana to win another LaLiga title. Overall, he has lifted seven trophies in Spain, three LaLiga trophies, three Spanish Super Cups and one Copa del Rey.
Overall, Lewandowski has scored 120 goals and set up 24 more in 193 appearances for the Spanish giants.
Before his move to Spain, Lewandowski scored 344 times in 375 matches, becoming one of the most prolific goalscorer in Bundesliga history.
He’s also won 10 Bundesliga titles, four DFB Pokals and one UEFA Champions League – among other titles – during his time in Germany. He was twice named FIFA The Best Men’s Player of the Year in 2020 and 2021.
According to multiple reports, including Fabrizio Romano, Lewandowski has agreed to join Chicago Fire, where he will link up with South African duo Mbekezeli Mbokazi and Puso Dithejane.
“He has every opportunity to become a great star in America,” Chicago coach Berhalter told Mateusz Skwierawski in an interview.
“This country is ready for him. He has had a brilliant career, and this could be the next challenge in his incredible career.”
