Zidane to play for Sydney: Reports

Former Real Madrid midfielder Zinedine Zidane has been approached to play in the Sydney FC side which will take on the Los Angeles Galaxy, according to reports.

The Sydney Daily Telegraph writes that Zidane’s representatives are in talks over a one-off guest appearance by the World Cup winner when Sydney face the MLS side at the Telstra Stadium on November 27.

Over 45,000 tickets have already been sold for the match after going on general sale on Wednesday.

If he opted to play in the game, Zidane, who retired after the World Cup final last year, could face former Real Madrid team-mate David Beckham who now plays for the Galaxy.
