A report from Sky Sports Germany says the Chicago Fire are interested in acquiring FC Augsburg forward Florian Niederlechner, which Hot Time in Old Town can confirm is accurate.
Fire Sporting Director Sebastian Pelzer told Sky, “We have registered our specific interest with the club - unfortunately Augsburg does not want to let the player go.”
As the report says, the Fire are indeed interested in signing the 31-year-old as a replacement for Robert Beriu0107, but unlike Beriu0107, Hot Time is told Niederlechner would not be on a Designated Player contract.
