Swiss star midfielder Shaqiri moves to MLS Chicago Fire

The deal will keep 30-year-old Shaqiri with Chicago through the 2024 MLS campaign. "We're extremely pleased to formally welcome Xherdan Shaqiri to the Fire," club sporting director Georg Heitz said. "Xherdan is a game-changing player and someone who will bring joy to our supporters and the city of Chicago."

Shaqiri has made 421 appearances in all competitions, helping to capture 17 major trophies in earning 100 caps for the Swiss, including roles in the past three World Cups and back-to-back European Championships in 2016 and 2020. He had stints at Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Stoke City and Liverpool before moving to Lyon last year.
