“David Beckham went to Hollywood because he wanted to be an actor, or something, who knows… What a pity,” former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon commented in the winter of 2007. But this saying has become meaningless today. Beckham saw the opportunity, and after ups and downs and a lot of patience, he finally conquered an entire country. The US Major League Soccer (MLS) exploded. And Becks realized his “American dream,” AS wrote. David Beckham left Real Madrid in the winter of 2007 to go to the US, joining the MLS with the LA Galaxy. He gave up a salary of 18 million USD/year, to receive only 6.5 million USD with a 5-year contract.

AS revealed: “At that time, many people asked why David Beckham did that? Because of his business vision. Because there were many small clauses in his contract. Among them, there was a clause that the former player could buy a franchise worth only 25 million USD to establish a football club in the US. This was what Beckham cherished when he decided to come to the US.”

David Beckham spent $25 million in 2014, and threw himself into the process of founding Inter Miami. The team debuted in 2018, playing in MLS two years later. But it was not until another dream of the former England player came true, that is recruiting Messi, that things began to flourish.

David Beckham has vision, because to establish a football club in the US today requires at least 582 million USD or more. David Beckham discovered it and now, together with Messi’s talent, they are exploiting the football gold mine in the US.
