I'm just curious if anyone has an opinion on this.

The 20th team in the league, would the MLS be holding that possible expansion team for a team Beckham? What ever happened to Beckham owning his own club in MLS. I'm sure if I recall correctly it was in his contract that MLS would allow him to seek ownership of a club in MLS and since he is now living in L.A. is that still in the works or was that just put into his contract in case he wanted to become owner of the L.A. Galaxy?

Maybe it's some form of first right of refusal when the option to buy into ownership comes up.

The deal was an option to buy into a new franchise not in New York (which was excluded). Beckham could have bought into Montreal, for example, or Portland.

I suspect he's lost interest. He never exercised his rights, the franchise fee is now $100 million, and Beckham himself seems headed back to Europe.

The franchise option probably became less interesting to him when he got out of youth academy business.

Just curious. What's his status? Is his contract up in December?

His contract is up in December.

LA has made him an offer of a 1 year extension, for less money, which most expect him to turn down.

Most people expect him to leave for France or England.
