Chicago Fire seal permanent deal for André Franco from FC Porto | OneFootball

The Chicago Fire confirmed the permanent acquisition of André Franco, extending his contract with the American club until 2028 and ending his connection with FC Porto.

Although the player is on loan until January 1, 2026, and is recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament tear, the Chicago team expedited the deal due to the midfielder's positive contribution to the team, with four assists in six matches.

The MLS club activated the permanent transfer of the player's registration rights and 50% of his economic rights from the Dragons, in a deal estimated at 750 thousand dollars, to be paid in three installments: 300 thousand dollars in January 2026 and the remaining in January 2027 and 2028.

The agreement also includes bonuses up to 250 thousand dollars, contingent on objectives: 50 thousand dollars for every 15 matches as a starter in the championship (up to a maximum of 150 thousand), 50 thousand dollars if the Chicago Fire qualifies for the playoffs in two consecutive seasons, and another 50 thousand dollars in case of winning the MLS Cup.
