Stojanović, 26, joins the Fire from Serbian Superliga side FK Cukaricki where he made 73 appearances over three seasons, including four in the Europa League. He scored 23 goals in the last two seasons across all competitions.
“Luka is a highly intelligent player with experience from competitive leagues in Europe,” said Chicago Fire FC Head Coach Raphael Wicky. “In addition, he is a very versatile player who can create and score goals for the team. We are very excited to have Luka on our roster going into the 2020 season.”
