Qatar Sports Investment (QSI), owners of French Ligue 1 giants Paris
Saint-Germain, are in talks to buy a stake in David Beckham's Miami
Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise.
Miami Beckham United (MBU), the ownership vehicle behind the proposed
MLS team, has been seeking a financial partner for some time.
MBU have struggled to find a suitable site to build a stadium but are aiming to join the MLS in 2018.
In
a statement MBU said: "As Miami Beckham United lays the groundwork for
launching a world class soccer club in Miami, our team has attracted
interest from a number of potential partners.
"David Beckham,
Simon Fuller and Marcelo Claure are evaluating these possibilities, with
the goal of bringing additional resources and international expertise
that draws players, staff and fans from around the world.
"At the
same time, we are performing due diligence on our stadium site as we
move toward finalising the acquisition of two privately held properties
and a third county-owned parcel over the coming weeks."
