The hot soccer market is focused on Inter Miami, the current champions and the most internationally minded team outside the United States. Robert Lewandowski is a hot topic for these reasons.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Erling Haaland causes children to faint with Christmas surprise in Manchester<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Polish striker&#8217;s contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the 2025-2026 season, and neither party has any intention of renewing or extending it. The situation has reached the ears of Inter Miami&#8217;s management and Leo Messi, who is already in talks to &#8220;lock him down&#8221; with the culprit for 2026. But they&#8217;re not alone.<\/p>\n<p>What looked like a lonely ground for the pink club was an alternate reality, as the Chicago Fire made a bid to acquire the attacker&#8217;s services. Their interest is so serious that they appear to have put an attractive offer on the table for Lewandowski, securing him and signing him immediately as soon as his stay at the Catalan club ends.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, Inter Miami had the upper hand in negotiations to woo him. Messi was the key to eliciting a positive reaction from the Polish player. Because he wants to play with Argentine players. However, the 37-year-old striker will listen to the numbers from Chicago Fire, which, as far as is known, will be higher than the numbers offered by the pink club.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Playoffs and 2026 World Cup, factors to consider for Robert Lewandowski<\/h2>\n<p>One of the European playoffs for the 2026 World Cup will be between Poland and Albania. The Chicago Fire&#8217;s offer for the striker will likely go up even further as Poland&#8217;s participation in the World Cup will increase his odds.<\/p>\n<p>Another scenario in which he could demand even more money is if Poland make it through the first round of the World Cup. If the Polish team can reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, Lewandowski&#8217;s market value will be even higher, regardless of the fact that he will be 38 years old when he arrives in MLS. That issue will likely delay the Chicago Fire from signing him. They are therefore considering signing an early contract that will not change for the World Cup from now on. Inter Miami, on the other hand, will take advantage of this situation and pay the amount the striker demands based on what happens between the playoffs and the World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/mls\/2025\/12\/17\/6942e48e22601dc2238b459a.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IIn true Major League Baseball (MLB) offseason style, there has also been a phenomenon in MLS with rumors flying around about possible trades before the end of the year.
