Robert Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona has taken a new turn after the Polish striker received a formal proposal from Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire.
The approach comes at a time when uncertainty continues to surround Lewandowski’s long-term role at FC Barcelona. As things stand, the veteran forward is expected to reach the end of his current contract at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, opening the door to a potential departure.
Despite the speculation, Lewandowski remains an important figure in Hansi Flick’s squad. The former Bayern Munich star continues to deliver on the pitch and added another goal to his tally this past weekend, underlining his ongoing value to the team.
However, age is becoming an unavoidable factor. Lewandowski is set to turn 38 later this year, and within the club there is a growing sense that a move away from Europe could be the most realistic next step in his career.
That scenario gained further traction this week, with Chicago Fire making their intentions clear. According to Diario Sport, the MLS club has already submitted a concrete proposal to the Polish striker, offering him a two-year contract designed around his status as a marquee figure both on and off the pitch.
Whether Lewandowski is tempted by a new chapter in the United States remains to be seen, but the offer signals that plans for life after Barcelona may already be taking shape.
