The Chicago Fire and Xherdan Shaqiri mutually agreed to terminate the midfielder’s contract on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old Swiss international had two goals and two assists in 12 matches (nine starts) this season but has not played since May 18.

“After discussions with Xherdan, we have mutually agreed that parting ways is in the best interest of all parties,” Fire sporting director Georg Heitz said. “We thank him for his contributions to the Club and wish him success in the next chapter of his career.”

Shaqiri arrived as a designated player in February 2022 on a transfer from the French Ligue 1 club Lyon.

He contributed 16 goals and 20 assists in 75 matches (63 starts) for the Fire across all competitions.

“I believe this is the right time for me to explore new opportunities in my career,” Shaqiri said. “I want to thank the Club and the fans for their support during my time in Chicago. I wish the Fire nothing but success moving forward.”

In addition to Lyon, Shaqiri’s career in Europe included stints in England (Liverpool, Stoke City), Italy (Inter Milan), Germany (Bayern Munich) and Switzerland (FC Basel). He has also represented the Swiss at four FIFA World Cups.
