Chilean legend Salas to Chicago?

International Chilean striker Marcelo Salas, who hasn't played since leaving Universidad de Chile in a dispute with a court-appointed bankruptcy official in December, will have a trial with the Chicago Fire.

The 32-year-old Salas, who also has played with River Plate of Argentina and Lazio and Juventus of Italy, already is in the United States and if he signs with Fire, would pair with Mexico's World Cup veteran Cuauhtemoc Blanco, who is to join the Chicago club in July.
