Robert Lewandowski is set to join Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire after leaving FC Barcelona, with multiple outlets reporting the move as finalized or imminent. The Poland captain, 37, becomes a designated player for the club, pending administrative steps including visa approval and completion of an international transfer certificate. The agreement runs through the 2027-28 season, with reporting also describing it as a deal lasting until 2028. Sources note that Lewandowski leaves Barcelona as a free agent after his contract expires, ending his most recent spell in Spain. The Guardian also reports his final Barcelona league output across the last four seasons as 83 goals and 19 assists in 134 league matches, while contributing to three La Liga titles. Several accounts describe the signing as a major, high-profile move for MLS. Chicago Fire’s announcement includes the use of a designated player slot, indicating the team has allocated resources to bring the striker to Chicago. The move follows months of speculation about his next club after his Barcelona departure.
