Former English and LA Galaxy legend David Beckham has decided to set up Miami franchise in the Major League Soccer. NBA legend and Miami Heat player LeBron James has joined forces with the former English international.
Beckham's tenure at LA Galaxy and the MLS has allowed him to buy a new league team at a cut of price of $25 million. The MLS has announced plans to expand to 24 teams in 2020, currently having 19 teams.
LeBron James confirmed to Florida's Sin Sentinel Newspaper stating that he would join forces with the English legend.
Following are the words of the NBA Champ:
"I've grown a great interest in watching the game. It's a pretty intense sport. And my kids love it as well. But I've grown to the point where I know exactly what's going on when I'm watching the game."
He also said:
“There’s some interest on both sides. David has become a good friend of mine over the last few years. I think it would be great for this city to have a football club for sure. There’s interest on both sides but it’s preliminary talks.
