MLS investigating Beckham’s Inter Miami over Matuidi signing

NEW YORK – Major League Soccer says it is investigating whether David Beckham’s Inter Miami violated salary budget and roster guidelines by its signing of French midfielder Blaise Matuidi. The 33-year-old Matuidi, a member of France’s 2018 World Cup champions, joined Miami on Aug. 13 from Juventus.

(AP Photo/Richard Drew, FIler)David Beckham bristled when asked whether Phil Neville’s was hired as Inter Miami coach because they’re buddies. He recalled spending eight weeks observing Bruce Arena coach Beckham and the Galaxy. Phil Neville was too nervous to answer questions in Spanish on Friday but plans to starting after this season’s opener.

Blend it with Beckham: Neville hired to coach Inter Miami

The Football Association has released Neville from his contract immediately after being informed he was in talks to become coach of Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer franchise partly owned by David Beckham. They’re teaming up again with hopes of winning more trophies with Inter Miami. Neville was hired Monday as Inter Miami’s coach, reuniting with Beckham — a co-owner of the MLS club.

Inter Miami are already looking forward to next season after revealing their year-end roster decisions for the 2021 campaign. He’s only featured for 33 minutes in the English Premier League (EPL) this term and a switch to Inter Miami – and a chance to link up with Gonzalo Higuain – would surely appeal. A front line of Giroud and Higuain would certainly be one of the most powerful strike forces in the MLS for 2021. All of which will help to build the Inter Miami brand. An experienced spine of Ramos, Matuidi, Higuain and Giroud would certainly be an intriguing foundation for Miami next season.

Vela puts LAFC past Inter Miami in Club’s debut

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles FC beat Inter Miami 1-0 in the inaugural game for Miami owner David Beckham’s MLS expansion team. Reigning league MVP Carlos Vela decided the game on his 31st birthday when he scored on a beautiful chip shot shortly before halftime. Miami wore white jerseys with pale pink shorts for its first game, and its new roster competed solidly against one of MLS’ elite teams. LAFC goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer made seven saves while posting a shutout in the Dutch veteran’s MLS debut. He wasn’t tested as sharply as Miami goalkeeper Luis Robles until the final 10 minutes, when Matias Pelligrini and Nicolas Figal forced him to make tough stops.

In Melreese talks, safeguard public interest, not dollar sign

The truth is that city residents best interest is far more significant than the financial bottom line for a unique asset. Any deal would also be far more palatable if the city allowed others to make bids for Melreese. Thats far too low a price. Well before then, city officials should unite on what they really wish to achieve and how they want to get there. Just be sure that the aim comes with something far more important to the community than a mere dollar sign.

Here's What's at Stake in the Latest Vote on Beckham's Miami Soccer Stadium

A single vote today could dash David Beckham's dreams of building a Major League Soccer stadium in Miami. City of Miami commissioners will meet this morning to consider the fate of Miami Freedom Park, a proposed $1 billion commercial complex including a 25,000-seat soccer field for the nascent MLS franchise Inter Miami. A 2018 referendum on whether to offer exclusive negotiating rights for the development site to Miami Freedom Park was approved by more than 60 percent of Miami voters. Investors say Miami Freedom Park would pad city coffers through additional tax revenue and rent payments while adding decent-paying jobs to the area. However, unlike the Marlins stadium boondoggle, Miami Freedom Park has said it will cover all costs related to redeveloping the Melreese site.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez told Local 10 News reporter Glenna Milberg that he signed a non-binding letter of intent with Miami Beckham United to negotiate the purchase of land owned by the county. The mayor said Beckham's group would pay fair-market value for the property, which is managed by the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department. Because the stadium would be privately owned, Beckham's group would be responsible for paying annual property taxes. However, property owners on the site were reluctant to offer what the Beckham group believed was a fair price for their land. "It is also further confirmation that Miami Beckham United wants its franchise to be in our community," Gimenez said.
