Leonardo reveals great interest in LA Galaxy star David Beckham – Ligue 1 news
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
The former England captain is currently on the books of Major League Soccer franchise http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Los-Angeles-Galaxy-c39818. Beckham was managed by the Brazilian when he was on loan to AC Milan.
In an interview with BBC Sport, Leonardo was asked about an English player he wanted at the club. The Brazilian replied, “It's someone that I really appreciate and admire so much - his values and everything he has done in football. It's http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 - a
big brand of English football.”
He further added that he had coached him in AC Milan and had created a good relationship. The Brazilian international was quoted as saying, “The door is open. He is more than a football player - he's a brand, a pop star. I would always consider him.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan coach had nothing but high praises for the 36-year-old former Manchester United man. He said that Beckham is a great team player who listens and respects the rules.
Beckham has been with the LA Galaxy since 2007 and his contract will expire at the end of 2011 season. PSG are not the only side eyeing the English playmaker; Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp has already offered him a return ticket to English Premier League.
Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 have also expressed their desire of signing the Leytonstone-born midfielder.
Galaxy have reportedly offered a one-year contract extension to the former Real Madrid playmaker.
In an interview to the Galaxy website, Beckham said that he has not planned anything after his contract expires with the American club. He further added that he would come to a decision in a few months after considering his physical condition and performance
level.
Beckham has already spoken of his desire to represent the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 football team in the 2012 London Olympics. So, a return to European football might be on the cards when his contract with the MLS franchise expires.
Paris Saint-Germain won their last French Ligue 1 championship in 1994 and with the arrival of new owners http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Sports Investments, Les Parisiens are aiming to become a European powerhouse.
The unending riches of QSI have already set their benchmarks in financial terms. If Beckham would consider moving near the Eiffel tower, the Qataris would certainly make his stay worth.
With Beckham under the radar of Les Rouge-et-Bleu, it seems that PSG have identified the best possible player who can take the club to a new level, largely due to his image in the footballing world. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Beckham’s presence at any club increases the club’s
marketability and PSG would definitely benefit from his brand as the club look to rub shoulders with the elite clubs in Europe.
