Both Malmö FF and IFK Göteborg are in desperate need of wins, with the classic clubs having failed to impress in the Swedish football league this season.
The fact that MFF still chooses to leave out perhaps its biggest star, 28-year-old Taha Ali, suggests a move is imminent.
He is close to a new club so we have chosen to remove him from the squad, MFF sports director Philip Berglund tells TV4.
Taha Ali, who was part of the Swedish World Cup squad, has recently been linked primarily with Greek side PAOK in Thessaloniki.
