Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be off to the middle east with a shock big-money move to Egyptian side Pyramids FC.

And owner Turki al-Sheikh is so confident about completing a deal with Ibrahimović he hopes it could be done within the next few days, report Record.

The big Swede has played in every major league in Europe, winning 32 trophies in the process.

This season Ibrahimovic has lit up Los Angeles in the MLS, bagging 16 goals in 21 games for LA Galaxy,

The 36-year-old did suffer a cruciate ligament injury while at Manchester United , but has revitalised his career in the States.

But Galaxy are in eighth in Western Conference, three points off the pace with five games to go.

They're not in great form, claiming just three points from a possible 15 and this may allow Pyramids FC to swoop, especially if Galaxy fall short of the mark.

“The focus is the playoff and then from the playoff you take it further and try to win the whole thing,” Ibrahimovic said after Galaxy’s frustrating 1-1 draw with rivals LAFC.

The money-bags Egyptian side are currently level on points with Al Ahli at the top of the Egyptian Premier League.

Originally founded in 2008 as Al Assiouty Sport, Cairo-based Pyramids have been in the top flight since 2014.

Al-Sheikh is currently the chairman of the General Sports Authority and the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation.

Sources claims that a deal between Ibrahimović and Pyramids could be completed in the next couple of days.

The MLS side have reportedly already given the go ahead for the Egyptian side to approach Zlatan, with Pyramids stating that money is not an issue and negotiations are advanced.

The Egyptian side have already signing World Cup winning Brazilian Dida as a goalkeeping coach.

The middle east is one of the few areas of the world that has yet to be ‘Zlataned’.
