Egyptian football side Pyramids have announced the signing of Brazilian attacking midfielder Rodriguinho Marinho on a reported three-year contract for $6 million.

The former Corinthians midfielder Rodriguinho joined Brazil's national team in two games in 2017.            

The 30-year-old midfielder is the Pyramids' fifth signing this summer after landing four Brazilian players — forward Keno, midfielder Arthur Melo, winger Lucas Moura, and midfielder Carlos Eduardo — and German's Dani Schahin.

The new Egyptian franchise football team Pyramids, believed to be owned by Saudi Minister of Sports Turki Al-Sheikh, has been undertaking a recruitment drive to strengthen its ranks ahead of the upcoming season.
