The defender scored a winner against Toronto in May.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 151 min read

What happened: Chicago Fire FC signed defender Andrew Gutman to a new contract through 2029. The deal replaces an agreement that ran through 2026 with a club option for 2027.

Why it matters: Chicago retains a homegrown left back who has become a regular in the club's defense. The extension also removes a potential roster decision after the 2026 season.

By the numbers: Gutman entered 2026 with $625,000 in guaranteed compensation. His first goal of the season decided a 2-1 win in May and earned MLS Team of the Matchday honors.

What to watch: Watch for Gutman's role through the closing stretch of the 2026 regular season.
