“David Beckham has confirmed the MLS Cup final will be his last game for the Galaxy. The race is on,” Perth Glory tweeted this morning.<\/p>\n
The Heart chief executive Scott Munn told reporters: “I can’t put a percentage term on it.<\/p>\n
“What I can say is that it’s certainly real, we’re putting forward an offer, it’s compelling and the opportunity is here for him to come here. That is absolutely legitimate.<\/p>\n
“Let’s let David get through next week, play the final of the MLS and hopefully he’ll have a win. Then I’m sure he’ll assess every offer.”<\/p>\n
Football Federation Australia last week claimed they had been approached by Beckham’s camp with a view to the player spending a short stint in the A-League, though his spokesman described that as “rubbish”.<\/p>\n
Beckham, 37, said overnight that he was to leave Los Angeles Galaxy after next month’s MLS Cup against Houston Dynamo on 1 December before seeking to extend his playing career elsewhere.<\/p>\n
He told the Major League Soccer website: “I’ve had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy, however, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
