MLS to try for Becks release
Major League Soccer have confirmed that they will look to bring
David Beckham to America before this summer, after it was confirmed
he will not play for Real Madrid again.
The former England captain confirmed this week that he had agreed
terms on a five-year deal with Los Angeles Galaxy, and that he
would join them when his current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu
expired.
However, his future took a fresh twist on Saturday when Real coach
Fabio Capello revealed that he would not pick the Englishman
again.
Now MLS have admitted that Capello's stance is 'sure' to prompt a
move from Galaxy to try and get Beckham freed in time for the start
of the new American season - which begins in mid-April.
"I'm sure Alexi [Lalas, president] or Frank Yallop [head coach],
when they hear about this, I'm sure they will try to bring him over
as quickly as possible," said MLS spokesman Stephen Rodriguez
"It would be in AEG [club owners] and LA Galaxy's best interests to
buy out the rest of his contract.
"If it were just a case of buying out his contract then absolutely,
they would do it."
