Robert Lewandowski already has a new team. The Chicago Fire made official this Monday the incorporation of the Polish forward, who will continue his career in the MLS after finishing his time with Barcelona.

The 37-year-old attacker signed a contract for the next two seasons, so he will remain with the American franchise until the 2027-2028 campaign, where he will occupy a Franchise Player position, a figure that allows clubs to exceed the salary limit established by the league.

Robert Lewandowski begins a new challenge in the MLS

After four seasons with Barcelona, ​​Robert Lewandowski decided to embark on a new adventure in soccer in the United States, where he will seek to maintain the scoring level that made him one of the most outstanding forwards of his generation.

Throughout his career, the Polish international also defended the shirts of Lech Poznań, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, clubs with which he won multiple national and international titles.

His arrival at the Chicago Fire is still subject to obtaining the corresponding visa and the International Transfer Certificate, necessary requirements to be qualified and debut in the MLS.

"His arrival reinforces our ambition to compete for trophies and raises the club's standards to heights worthy of this city. We are eager to work with him and for Chicago to see firsthand why he is one of the most revered sporting icons in the world," said Gregg Berhalter, the team's director of soccer and coach.

With this signing, the Illinois team strengthens a project that seeks to consolidate itself among the protagonists of the Eastern Conference.

Lewandowski arrives with an impressive scoring quota

The new reinforcement of the Chicago Fire lands in the MLS with a record backed by more than 700 goals between clubs and national team, in addition to a career in the elite of European soccer.
