Minnesota United’s all-time leading scorer is headed to Chicago.

Free agent midfielder Robin Lod has signed a two 1/2-year contract with the Fire through June 2028, the club said Friday afternoon.

The Finn took more guaranteed years to join the Fire. The length of the Loons’ offer was for 1 1/2 years guaranteed, with a one-year option, sources told the Pioneer Press.

Lod was Loons’ highest-paid player in 2025 at $1.6 million and he had similar salaries offers from both Minnesota and Chicago, just under $1 million per year, sources said.

Loons’ Chief Soccer Officer Khaled Al-Ahmad wants his rosters to be constructed with fewer players considered to be in the “twilight” of his career. At age 32, Lod resides on that category.

The club declined Lod’s contract option for 2026 and entered negotiations this winter.

Besides Lod, MNUFC has had starting goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair sign with Inter Miami and midfielder Hassani Dotson sign with Seattle Sounders.

Since joining the Loons in 2019, Lod became the club leader in goals (34) and assists (35) while being second to Michael Boxall in total games played.

Lod was an MLS All-Star in 2024 with two goal contributions (seven goals,13 primary assists) and that fell to eight in 2025 (five goals and three assists).
