Robert Lewandowski is reportedly "torn" between joining MLS side Chicago Fire or heading for the Saudi Pro League for Al-Hilal in the summer transfer window. The Poland international is expected to leave Barcelona when his contract expires and has been offered a lucrative €90 million deal by Al-Hilal. However, Chicago Fire are also in the race to land the superstar and he is tempted by the prospect of becoming their franchise player and joining the likes of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Thomas Muller in the USA, per Mundo Deportivo.
Lewandowski is still a great striker who, despite his age, maintains a very high level and is in good form. His experience, effectiveness, and intelligence on the pitch could be a huge help to Atletico.
I would sign Lewandowski for free, even at 37 years old: he is from another category, one of the last nine real players along with Haaland. Lewandowski may not have the physique he used to, but despite not playing regularly, he scored 14 goals at Barcelona: he is strong and intelligent.
Known as SGEs, special government employees are limited to 130 days per year of unpaid work. Like recent SGE Elon Musk, they can be in senior positions and still have private employment and clients, unlike typical government workers at departments that handle hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts.
