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

Chicago Fire has confirmed the permanent signing of André Franco, extending his contract with the American club until 2028 and ending his association with FC Porto.

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

The MLS club triggered the permanent transfer of the player’s registration rights and 50% of his economic rights from the Dragons, in a deal estimated at $750,000, to be paid in three installments: $300,000 in January 2026 and the remainder in January 2027 and 2028.

The agreement also includes bonuses of up to $250,000, subject to objectives: $50,000 for every 15 matches as a starter in the league (up to a maximum of $150,000), $50,000 if Chicago Fire qualifies for the playoffs in two consecutive seasons, and another $50,000 in case of victory in the MLS Cup.
