David Beckham is reportedly working with his old club Real Madrid in order to secure a major transfer for his MLS club Inter Miami. According to Goal, Beckham reached out to Real’s president Florentino Perez with the intention to make a move for Colombian star attacker James Rodriguez.
Rodriguez hasn’t been in Real’s plans for some time now, spending previous seasons on loan with Bayern Munich. After Bayern declined to make a permanent move, the 28-year-old returned to Madrid where he only made seven appearances in 2019/20 La Liga season.
Real would reportedly be willing to do business with Miami, considering that Rodriguez has just one year left on his deal and could walk for free next summer. Inter, on the other hand, previously failed to bring in a high-profile player for their inaugural MLS season and are now trying to make amends.
Beckham, who owns Inter Miami and is the club’s current president, is also in touch with James Rodriguez’s representatives in order to see whether the player is interested in MLS move. Reportedly, a firm offer is yet to be made.
While Rodriguez’s arrival in MLS would be a huge thing for US soccer, it would be a surprise if the move goes through. He is still in his prime, and a number of big European clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Everton are interested in his services. But, it is okay to dream, right?
