Lewandowski Approaches American League
The Polish striker Robert Lewandowski is in Chicago over the weekend as negotiations continue with the Chicago Fire club regarding a potential move to the MLS, according to journalists Tom Bogert and Paul Tenorio.
The 37-year-old became a free agent after his stint with Barcelona ended, opening the door to several offers from outside Europe. Meanwhile, Chicago Fire continues to work on convincing him to embark on a new experience in the United States. Reports indicate that the American club has offered a long-term project and a contract lasting between two and three years.
Chicago Fire coach, Gregg Berhalter, has previously publicly confirmed the club's interest in the Polish striker, describing him as one of the greatest forwards in the history of the game, noting that communications between the two parties have been ongoing for some time.
Despite interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Italy for his services, the American league seems to be a serious destination for the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich star, with the final decision expected to be made in the coming days.
