David Beckham says he would love to see Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic line up for his proposed Major League Soccer team in Miami.
Beckham, 40, is in the process of setting up an MLS team in Florida as the league looks to expand to 28 teams over the next few years.
The former England captain’s dream moved a step closer to becoming reality earlier in December when his ownership group announced that they had acquired a site for a new stadium.
Beckham does not expect the ground to be ready until 2017 or 2018, but he told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that he would love to reunite with Ibrahimovic in the United States at that point.
The Sweden captain, 34, is out of contract at PSG in the summer and in October he was linked with a future move to Miami.
Beckham was a teammate of Ibrahimovic at PSG in 2013 and he says he was bowled over by how dedicated the former AC Milan, Inter and Barcelona striker is.
“I love Zlatan as a person and a player,” the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder said.
