Man United transfer news: Talks Underway Over Record Deal
Reports earlier this week claimed that Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was a target for MLS side LA Galaxy.
And now former Galaxy president Alexi Lalas has confirmed that talks between the Californian franchise and the 35-year-old forward are underway.
Lalas told BBC 5 Live that Galaxy “do have a chance” of signing Zlatan when his United contract expires this summer.
However, he also suggested that the deal could happen in 2018.
Zlatan could become the highest-paid footballer in MLS history, according to 5Live.
Lalas compared Zlatan’s potential move to David Beckham’s switch to the States in 2007.
He added: “The David Beckham thing didn’t happen overnight.
“There was a relationship that was fostered and cultivated over the years and then, when that perfect moment came, we were ready to act – not just with money, but with the entire package.
