The former Bayern Munich star, winner of eight German league titles, the Champions League and the 2014 World Cup, only has a contract with the Chicago Fire until March 2018.

But he has proved to be a huge hit in MLS - and even has the second-best selling jersey in the league, ahead of David Villa, Kaka and Andrea Pirlo.
