Chicago Fire, Gastón Giménez mutually terminate contract

Giménez, 33, originally joined Chicago in February 2020 from Argentine top-flight side Velez Sarsfield. The Paraguayan international played 134 matches across all competitions, tallying four goals and 11 assists.

Now, Gimenez will reportedly join Paraguayan side Cerro Porteño.

Last season, Chicago finished bottom of the Eastern Conference (15th place; 30 points) and missed the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for a seventh-straight year. That led to the appointment of Berhalter, who joined the Fire after two stints leading the US men’s national team.
