Moving to MLS
In 2007 and after leaving Real Madrid, the career of the then midfielder took an unexpected turn when he decided to accept the challenge of playing in Los Angeles Galaxy, a team of Major League Soccer that still did not have as many stars as today.
This transfer generated a great deal of controversy. It is believed that this decision responds more to lucrative than strictly sports purposes, since Beckham would be aware of his future physical decline and would like to squeeze the most out of his advertising potential in the United States market.
Although this controversy was generated, the player clarified that he was joining LA Galaxy since he saw the great potential that could arise from MLS, a league that, according to him, had a lot to offer footballistically.
His signing became real on January 11, 2007, which cost $250 million dollars for five seasons.
He became the first franchise player in the history of MLS and also gave the club an increase in the number of subscribers, with a thousand new members, all this within just four hours of having announced his transfer to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
“Becks” was part of one of the best generations that the LA Galaxy team had in its history, headed by himself and along with players such as Landon Donovan or Robbie Keane, they were consecrated two-time champions of American soccer between 2011 and 2012, after defeating Houston Dynamo in two consecutive editions of Major League Soccer.
David Beckham was linked with the American club for 6 seasons, in which he played a total of 124 games, scored 20 goals and gave 42 assists; in addition, he put Los Angeles team into another media level, since, to date, he is the player with the most shirts sold in the history of Major League Soccer.
Loaned to AC Milan
In November 2009, he made his return to AC Milan official, on loan until the end of the season in January 2010. The objective of this new transfer was to prepare to play the 2010 World Cup.
His transfer to AC Milan again generated another controversy in his environment since the American fans and Landon Donovan accused and criticized the English soccer player for lack of commitment and professionalism with the Los Angeles Galaxy and his departure from the American team.
On January 31, 2013, his signing for Paris Saint-Germain became official, which was the last club in which he played until his retirement from the field. But still, and with his days in football coming to the end, he managed to win Ligue 1 with the Parisian team.
