Lewandowski Considering MLS Move, Chicago Fire Leading Contender
According to sources at the BBC, Lewandowski has held “positive talks” with Chicago Fire FC. The Polish captain, a prolific goalscorer throughout his career, is reportedly not concerned about potential salary demands, making a move to MLS increasingly viable.
The possibility of Lewandowski joining Chicago is considered “very high,” with the club placing him on their “Discovery List.” This designation prevents other MLS teams from signing the forward without first negotiating a transfer with the Fire. Lewandowski’s potential arrival would instantly elevate the profile of the league and provide a significant boost to Chicago’s attack.
Inter Miami, the reigning MLS Cup champions, had also expressed interest in acquiring Lewandowski, but Chicago’s proactive approach has significantly diminished the likelihood of him landing in Florida. Inter Miami previously pursued stars like Neymar and Kevin De Bruyne, but now appear to have shifted their focus to the Barcelona forward.
Italian giants AC Milan also reportedly engaged in discussions with Lewandowski’s representatives, but concerns over his wage expectations may have stalled those negotiations. The potential move to Milan was seen as a strong possibility given Lewandowski’s experience in European football.
