David Beckham is reportedly in talks with Paris St Germain to get the French on-board as one of the investors in his new MLS franchise.
The former LA Galaxy, Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Paris St Germain midfielder is one of the celebrated players in the history of the game. His idea of getting back into the game is through the ownership of the club. He plans to start this venture by taking advantage of the agreement with MLS. Beckham is allowed to start a MLS franchise as part of the contract that he signed with the LA Galaxy in 2007.
The new franchise is set to be based in Miami, but it has come up against several opposition. The first and foremost opposition that Beckham will have to overcome is the location of the new stadium. Miami Beckham United is now ownership vehicle behind the start of the new MLS franchise and it is currently in discussions with Paris St Germain. Beckham last played for the French outfit and he holds a special relationship with the Qatari owners at the club. Their relationship in the new franchise is likely to be more than just funding. The new franchise is likely to be similar to the way Manchester City operate with the New York City FC franchise.
