Robert Lewandowski would change Barcelona for the MLS; Chicago Fire would be his destiny
The Polish striker would be one step away from moving to the United States, where he would become a rival of Lionel Messi
Robert Lewandowski's future would be defined. According to the journalist specialized in transfers Fabrizio Romano and reports from OneFootball and other European media, the Polish forward reached an agreement to become a new player for the Chicago Fire of the MLS, so only the signature would remain to make the operation official.
If the move comes to fruition in the coming days, the former Barcelona scorer will begin a new adventure in American soccer, where he will face Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in one of the most attractive rivalries in the league.
Fabrizio Romano advances the agreement between Lewandowski and Chicago Fire
The possibility of seeing Robert Lewandowski in Major League Soccer gained strength after Fabrizio Romano assured that the attacker has already said yes to the Chicago Fire project.
The Italian specialist published on his social networks:
"Robert Lewandowski to Chicago Fire. The Polish forward has agreed to join the Chicago Fire after visiting the club and city two weeks ago. Lewandowski will sign early next week, ready for a new chapter in MLS. Great move."
For their part, OneFootball and other European media agree that the 37-year-old attacker is very close to finalizing his arrival in United States soccer after meetings held with the club's directors.
The legacy that Robert Lewandowski would leave in Barcelona
If his departure is confirmed, Robert Lewandowski will end a four-season spell with Barcelona, where he established himself as one of the team's offensive references.
Since his arrival in 2022, the forward has played 191 games, scored 119 goals and provided 19 assists, in addition to winning three LaLiga titles, one Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups.
During the most recent season he once again demonstrated his scoring ability by registering 42 goals, being one of the key pieces for the Blaugrana team to win the domestic treble.
Lewandowski would meet Lionel Messi again in the MLS
The arrival of Robert Lewandowski to the MLS would increase the number of international figures currently active in American soccer.
In addition, the Polish striker would star in one of the most anticipated duels of the championship when facing Lionel Messi, who leads Inter Miami and was linked to the European attacker during previous transfer markets.
The possible signing would also reinforce the American league's strategy of incorporating players with extensive experience in the elite of European football.
