Former player Janusz Michallik revealed that Lewandowski’s legal team is discussing fiscal matters with the American club. He noted that Chicago Fire can afford the financial terms, although it’s unlikely Lewandowski would receive ownership stakes. Michallik described the potential signing as a major event for the MLS and the Polish community in Chicago.
Lewandowski has attracted offers from Saudi Arabia, Turkish club Fenerbahce, and others. His contract with Barcelona expires on June 30, after which he will be able to sign freely. Chicago Fire’s head coach Gregg Berhalter openly expressed their intention to sign Lewandowski, highlighting his appeal for the club, the city, and the league.
