Robert Lewandowski is on the verge of making a stunning move to Major League Soccer after reaching the end of his contract with FC Barcelona.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano broke the news on Sunday evening, confirming that the Polish striker is set to join the Chicago Fire franchise.

The 37-year-old will become a free agent within days, with his deal at the Catalan club officially expiring at the end of June 2026.

An agreement between Lewandowski and Chicago Fire has already been reached, with the formal contract signing expected to follow in the coming weeks.

Romano confirmed that the deal is fully finalised, meaning the move is not subject to further negotiation or any outstanding conditions.

It represents one of the most significant departures in recent Barcelona history, with the striker having been a central figure at the club since arriving from Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski’s move continues a growing trend of high-profile European stars making the switch to the American top flight in search of a new challenge.

Antoine Griezmann’s recent arrival at Orlando City paved the way, and MLS is now landing yet another elite name to bolster its global reputation.

The Chicago Fire will be hoping that Lewandowski’s arrival translates into both goals on the pitch and a surge in commercial and fan interest across the franchise.

His experience at the very highest level of European football, including Champions League campaigns and domestic titles, makes him one of the most decorated players to ever enter MLS.

The Polish captain has consistently ranked among Europe’s most prolific strikers across his career, and his hunger to continue competing at a high level is clearly undiminished.

MLS continues to position itself as a genuine destination for world-class talent, and the addition of Lewandowski alongside Griezmann signals serious intent from the league heading into the back half of 2026.
