The future of Polish star Robert Lewandowski has become a focal point in the transfer market, amid movements by some Major League Soccer clubs preparing for the 2026 season, led by Chicago Fire, which has shown interest in signing the Barcelona striker, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo".

The newspaper explained that Chicago Fire's management has already made contacts with Lewandowski's circle. The 37-year-old's contract with Barcelona expires on June 30, with an extension clause yet to be decided.

According to the same source, the negotiations have been positive, and the American club does not see the player's salary as a decisive obstacle if the deal progresses.

In the same context, the newspaper pointed out that Chicago Fire is not the only party interested in the Polish striker's services, as rumors have circulated in recent days about possible interest from Inter Miami, though no official steps have been taken so far.

The newspaper added that Lewandowski is considering several scenarios for his future, including continuing with Barcelona for an additional season, trying a new experience in the United States, or considering potential offers from the Saudi league, emphasizing that he is not thinking about leaving during the winter transfer window, which aligns with reports published by German media.

On the sporting side, the newspaper clarified that Barcelona's management, led by coach Hans Flick, is relying this season on a rotation policy in the pure striker position, by distributing minutes between Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, after the Polish international was a key player last season.

Despite that, Flick still considers Lewandowski a reliable player, especially in major matches, as he maintains his scoring numbers in the league.

While Lewandowski's future remains open to all possibilities, Chicago Fire continues to monitor him, hoping to turn the existing interest into an official offer at the right time.
