MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James says he has had “preliminary talks” with David Beckham about possibly bringing an MLS team to Miami.
The Miami Heat star and four-time NBA MVP’s interest in soccer has grown considerably in recent years. In 2011, James signed with Fenway Sports Management. As part of that deal, he obtained a small piece of Liverpool FC, one of the world’s most famous soccer teams.
The Associated Press first reported last month that Beckham decided to start an MLS expansion team in Miami. Several matters, however, must be taken care of first, including getting league approval. Beckham scouted some Miami locations last week.
James says he and Beckham have become good friends in recent years.
