DAVID BECKHAM looks to have secured a major signing for Inter Miami with Neymar agreeing to join the new MLS team – in ten years’ time.
The likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid are desperate to sign the Brazilian winger but he has admitted to one day desiring a move to Miami.
Ahead of joining the top-tier of United States football next season, Inter have signed exciting Argentine teenagers Matias Pellegrini and Julian Carranza as well as Celtic midfielder Lewis Morgan.
In a discussion with Beckham for YouTube channel OTRO, Neymar was warned that joining them would mean a salary far from what he is used to at Paris Saint-Germain.
Beckham said: “America has a huge opportunity because they have many other sports that are the number one, two, three sport.
“Soccer, now is growing very quickly and I think it’s a real opportunity for America to have great players there.
“I’m going to get you to sign a piece of paper after. A blank piece of paper.
“It’s going to be a contract for Miami, for ten years’ time.
“We’re not going to pay much…”
Neymar did not hesitate to accept the offer, Beckham exclaiming: “Deal, you saw this!”
And the 28-year-old stated that he had already discussed a potential switch to MLS’s new side.
He stated: “I was the one who asked to play for his team.

As the world’s most expensive footballer, Neymar earns by far the highest wage in Ligue 1.
His pay of approximately £2.6million-per-month – before bonuses or sponsorships – has not proved enough to deter prospective buyers.
