The push to lure Swedish superstar striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Perth has received a further boost, with the State Government and corporate sponsors offering significant support to the bid.

Reports have emerged that costing is already underway to calculate the removal expense of the drop-in cricket wicket at Optus Stadium, in preparation for what could be Ibrahimovic’s A-League debut.

If Glory can secure the 38-year-old’s services, they’ll relocate the fixture to the 60,000-seat stadium to accommodate the expected ticket demand to see the star in action.

The most likely fixture would be the grand final rematch on November 23, according to Glory’s chairman Tony Sage.

“We will switch the Sydney FC game from HBF Park to Optus for the grand final replay which will be his first game in Australia if he comes," Sage said.

"In the end, it’s up to him. He might want a break. However, his agent wouldn’t have continued talks if there wasn’t any interest.”

Optus Stadium is booked for a T20 international between Australia and Pakistan on Friday November 8th, with more international cricket to start on December 12th for a day night Test against New Zealand.

However it appears officials are in talks to remove the wicket between those two matches, if the dream to pull off the biggest coup in A-League history was to become a reality.

The striker becomes a free agent as of November, when his Los Angeles Galaxy contract ends.

The free agency is what prompted Glory officials to send Ibrahimovic and his manager an enticing video, showcasing what Perth’s lifestyle and attractions have to offer.

If Perth can lure Ibrahimovic over, his stint would encompass two home games against Sydney FC and the Sydney Wanderers, on top of away fixtures in Melbourne against Victory and City.
