Two of the worlds biggest sports stars have teamed up for talks on potentially bringing an MLS franchise to Miami. Beckham 38, and James 28, are reportedly in preliminary discussions along with Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.James, a 2-Time NBA Champion, already has an ownership stake in English Premier League club Liverpool with Fenway Sports Group.
Beckham, who has won League titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid, PSG, along with the MLS Cup with LA Galaxy in 2012, apparently has an option to acquire an MLS franchise at a discounted rate of around $25m, but that it expires at the end of this year.
This news along with news of the Manchester City backed franchise in New York is very much welcomed by everyone involved in the game in America.
With the MLS making huge strides over the last few years, it cannot be stressed enough how important it could be.
