MLS secures another European star as Lewandowski heads to Chicago Fire

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski will leave FC Barcelona and sign for MLS side Chicago Fire, the club announced Sunday evening, with the player becoming a free agent in two days after his contract expires. The agreement is finalised and Lewandowski is set to ink his deal in the coming weeks, marking another European arrival following Antoine Griezmann's move to Orlando.

Lewandowski's contract with FC Barcelona ends in two days, making him a free agent without a transfer fee. The Polish forward will therefore depart Europe as his current deal expires.

The move follows Antoine Griezmann's recent transfer to Orlando, confirming MLS's willingness to attract established European talent. The American league is thus welcoming another European football star this summer.

For Lewandowski, the Chicago Fire contract will be signed in the coming weeks, finalising his transition to North American football. The agreement was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano on Sunday evening.

Chicago Fire have reached an agreement to sign Lewandowski, completing their summer recruitment. The signing adds another European football star to the Chicago Fire franchise.
