Chicago Fire Cool Interest in Robert Lewandowski
Lewandowski's Potential Move to MLS
The Chicago Fire are reportedly unlikely to sign Robert Lewandowski upon the expiration of his contract at Barcelona this summer, according to The Athletic.
Previous Interest and Talks
The Polish striker's deal is up in June, and he has been heavily linked with a move to MLS in the past. However, Chicago Fire's interest lies elsewhere, especially with current striker Hugo Cuypers in fine form. Chicago reportedly pursued Lewandowski aggressively over the winter when it became clear that he would not immediately sign a contract extension to stay in Catalonia, but were unable to strike a deal.
- Robert Lewandowski is set to be a free agent in June.
- The Chicago Fire were in active talks for the striker but a move never quite formulated.
Current Situation
The Chicago Fire are no longer interested in signing Robert Lewandowski and are focusing on other targets.
