Chicago Fire, representing the Major League Soccer (MLS) of the USA and Canada, has not given up on its intention to include Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, who will be able to gain free agent status at the end of the season, in its squad.
Idman.Biz reports that the club's first contacts with the representatives of the 37-year-old Polish football player took place at the end of last year. In November, Lewandowski's wife, Anna, visited Chicago and also inspected a possible place of residence.
At the beginning of December, a delegation from the Chicago Fire visited Barcelona. A few weeks ago, Pini Zahavi, a well-known manager who protects the interests of the striker, met with Joe Mansueto, the owner of the American club, in London.
It became known that Chicago Fire offered Lewandowski a two-year contract with a high salary.
