By Tom Hopkinson of The PeopleDavid Beckham will be offered the chance to stay on as a player-coach at Los Angeles Galaxy when his five-year deal expires in November.
Becks, 36, reaches the end of the huge contract he signed when he left Real Madrid for LA in 2007, at the end of the current MLS Season.
The Galaxy will offer Beckham the chance to play on for another term, while also taking more of a role in Bruce Arena’s backroom team.
And the new deal would allow Beckham to return to European football from January to April next year.
Beckham spent three months training with Tottenham last season and had spells at AC Milan in the previous two seasons.
Beckham and his advisors have had initial discussions over his future, but nothing has yet been finalised. As People Sport revealed back in 2009, Beckham has a clause in his MLS contract which lets him buy a franchise once he hangs up his boots.
And he and Simon Fuller – who looks after Beckham’s business affairs – are still keen for that to happen.
