Whispers began circulating last Friday suggesting Robert Lewandowski was making his way to Chicago, Illinois, to engage in discussions regarding a potential move to the Chicago Fire.
However, the celebrated Polish striker might not be the sole prominent figure connected to Bayern Munich contemplating a switch to Chicago. Leon Goretzka, scheduled to depart from Bavaria within weeks, is also reportedly negotiating a potential transfer to the Fire, according to MLS reporter Tom Bogert from The Athletic:

Should Lewandowski and Goretzka indeed relocate to Chicago, it seems the fitness centers throughout the Windy City would struggle to provide sufficient weightlifting equipment to satisfy these athletes.
Nevertheless, Goretzka is anticipated to prioritize playing within Europe, though exploring alternative possibilities is always beneficial. Given the German national squad’s presence in Chicago the previous weekend, perhaps Goretzka took the opportunity to fully immerse himself in the city’s atmosphere?
