Sir David Beckham is in Miami to talk football business with potential investors including Bolivian billionaire Marcelo Claure, over his dream of creating a Major League Soccer Team (MLS). This comes as part ofBeckham’s contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy Football Club,stipulating he would be able to purchase a new MLS franchise for $25 million.
According to reports, both men were seen touring sites on Wednesday, Nov 13, for a potential stadium, as the existing stadiums like Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida International University’s Alfonso Field and Marlins Park in Little Harvana, all have drawbacks.

The source added: ‘The key idea here is that we want this to last for a long, long, long time. We need our partners to be right and we need things to be right on a local, national and global scale.’
The father-of-four has been spotted with Bolivian-born billionaireMarcelo on a number of occasions on Beckham’s last visits, including attending a Miami Hear game together.
