Lewandowski won’t be short of options, with several Italian clubs hoping to sign the Polish veteran, alongside those in Saudi Arabia.
Chicago Fire are hoping to beat them all to the punch and bring him to the USA, confirmed by manager Berhalter.
“I can speak freely because he is no longer a Barcelona player, and he is someone we want to sign,” he said (via Marca).
“We have spoken with Robert Lewandowski and with the people who represent him. I am convinced that a player of his level has other offers on the table, but our communication has been frequent and very positive.”
