T<\/span>MLS hopes to continue to bring the best soccer stars, regardless of age, to play in the United States, further increasing the league’s competitiveness and global profile. There are some great players in this transfer window who could join Major League Soccer next season.<\/p>\nIconic names such as players from important clubs such as Barcelona and great footballers who have dropped a bit in level but see a chance to shine again and be the best version of themselves in this league. That’s why here at MARCA we mention five free agents who could potentially join MLS.<\/p>\n
\n
\nRobert Lewandowski crashes into Lamine Yamal’s face in extremely awkward moment at Barcelona<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nFrom Barcelona to MLS: Robert Lewandowski could head to the US<\/h2>\n Polish international and Bayern Munich legend Robert Lewandowski may join a Major League Soccer team next season. According to some US reporters, there is a strong possibility that the former Borussia Dortmund player will join a team like the Chicago Fire.<\/p>\n
Sources close to Poland say the player has favorable prospects for moving to the United States and spending his final years as a professional in MLS. The striker’s contract with Barcelona expires in the summer of 2026, opening the possibility for him to join as a free agent.<\/p>\n
World soccer stars who could join MLS in 2026<\/h2>\n Hakim Ziyech: U.S. sources say the Moroccan star, who has been a free agent since September, has been offered multiple MLS clubs to join the American League as a franchise player. Although this is still a rumor, we are likely to see the former Chelsea player in Major League Soccer.<\/p>\n
Paco Alcacer: The veteran Spanish striker, who previously played for Borussia Dortmund, Villarreal and a number of other European clubs, joined MLS as a free agent this season and could extend his long career even further.<\/p>\n
Dele Alli: Once considered one of Europe’s most promising players at Tottenham Hotspur, Dele Alli is reportedly very close to a move to Major League Soccer after a significant decline in the level of his football. If he moves to the North American League, it could be his last year as a professional soccer player.<\/p>\n
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: The former Liverpool player is another name heavily linked with a move to the United States. The 32-year-old will not see any disadvantage in joining a league where the number and level of fans continues to rise every year, thanks to names such as Thomas Muller, Marco Reus and Lionel Messi, who continue to improve the quality of their respective teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
