Razov spent the next seven years with Chicago, save a brief period in 2001 that he spent with Spanish second division club Racing de Ferrol. In his seven years with the Fire he led the club in goals and points five times (including club record 18 goals and 42 points in 2000). He is the club's all-time leader with 76 goals and 190 points, and is adored by fans in Chicago's infamous "Erickson cheering section" who still chant his name, "Razov! Razov! Razov!" when he visits. Despite the productive numbers, he was hated by a majority of Fire fans and was booed more often than cheered. This may be due to all the opportunities he could not capitalize on during his tenure with the team. Razov was named to the MLS Best XI in 2003. With Chicago, he won the MLS Cup in 1998 and the US Open Cup in 1998, 2000, and 2003. Following a disappointing 2004 season and clashes with head coach Dave Sarachan, and as well of getting tired of all the jeering over the years, Razov was traded to the Columbus Crew in exchange for Tony Sanneh.

But Razov did not last long in Columbus. Even though he scored in the 2005 season opener, his tenure with the club lasted all of five games. Disagreement with head coach Greg Andrulis led to Razov's reuniting with his ex-coach with the Fire, Bob Bradley, at the MetroStars. He was acquired in exchanged for John Wolyniec and a partial allocation. After the season, Bradley, now in charge at Chivas USA, re-acquired Razov again, for Thiago Martins and another partial allocation.
