Polish Star and Former Barcelona Striker Robert Lewandowski Comes to MLS with the Chicago Fire
- On Sunday, June 28, 2026, Fabrizio Romano reported that striker Robert Lewandowski agreed to join the Chicago Fire, with the 37-year-old set to sign early next week.
- Led by owner Joe Mansueto, the Chicago Fire pursued a marquee player after failing to secure Neymar in 2025 or Thomas Müller, who signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
- Chicago Fire director of football and manager Gregg Berhalter offered a two-to-three-year contract, stating, "We talked about his position and how he could help the team win the championship." Lewandowski arrives with 629 career goals in 869 professional appearances.
- Berhalter, who uses a two-striker system, believes Lewandowski fits alongside Hugo Cuypers, joining a league featuring Inter Miami's Lionel Messi, LAFC's Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min, and Orlando City's Antoine Griezmann.
- Lewandowski could make his debut on July 16 against the Vancouver Whitecaps, potentially helping the third-place Eastern Conference team advance toward the championship.
