Parts ways with club Shaqiri and the Chicago Fire have mutually agreed to terminate his existing contract Wednesday, according to his former club .

Impact After three seasons in Chicago, Shaqiri has decided to look in a different direction. The midfielder scored two goals and assisted one in his last campaign with the Fire. We may be looking at the end of Shaqiri's career after struggling with some injuries this season. With last MLS appearance on May 19, this departure should not impact the team sheet in any considerable fashion.

Impact Shaqiri hasn't returned to Chicago following his participation with Switzerland in the 2024 Euros, and the talented playmaker seems to be trying to force a move back to Europe. At this point, he seems highly unlikely to play for the Fire in the Leagues Cup, or even at all in the rest of the season.

Leaves early for Euro preparation Shaqiri will not be an option for up to the next month and a half, as he has already traveled to Switzerland to prepare for Euro 2024, according to Alex Calabrese of Men in Red Med...

Impact Shaqiri was reported to have missed out on Saturday's match against D.C. United due to departing for Switzerland to join the national team's camp ahead of Euro 2024, leaving him unavailable for the rest of June and possibly some of July. This is a tough loss for the club, as they will now be without their captain and a designated player, not to mention that he is also one of their better players at a time when the club is struggling. This will force a change, with Brian Gutierrez likely taking his spot while Fabian Herbers, Chris Mueller and Maren Haile-Selassie will likely gain more time on the flanks of the attack.
