After a week of rumors and speculation, it’s now a done deal: Polish striker Kacper Przybylko is a Chicago Fire player. As part of the MLS trade, Przybylko’s former club, the Philadelphia Union, will receive $1,150,000 in General Allocation Money split across two seasons – $575,000 in 2022 GAM and $575,000 in 2023 GAM.
Przybylko is under contract with Chicago through the 2023 season, but a source tells Hot Time in Old Town discussions are underway on a new deal, which would not be a Designated Player contract.
Przybylko, who led the Union in scoring the last three seasons, will join his new Fire teammates Saturday afternoon in Orlando.
