Beckham Appears Likely to Stay With Galaxy January 3, 2012, 12:51 pm David Beckham's days in Major League Soccer are apparently not over after all. The president of the French club Paris-St. Germain, which had been trying to add the 36-year-old Beckham as the first prize signing for its new coach Carlo Ancelotti, said Tuesday that Beckham would not be joining the club. "David Beckham is not coming," the president, Nasser al-Khelaifi, said at the Qatar Open tennis tournament. But both sides agreed it would be better that we not do the deal. Al-Khelaifi said Beckham would return to the Galaxy, the club he led to the M.L.S. championship last season in the final year of his five-year contract. A newspaper report in England said that Beckham would sign a new contract with the Galaxy "within the next week," a report that al-Khelaifi appeared to confirm on Tuesday. "Beckham is in Los Angeles, and he's going to stay there," he said. A Galaxy spokesman said the team would have no comment regarding the reports about Beckham. Beckham has made no secret of his desire to play for Britain at this summer's London Olympics, which was why many had assumed he would move back to Europe after his Galaxy contract expired in November. But family considerations also played a role in his decision, according to numerous reports. Beckham and his wife, Victoria, have four young children, the last of whom was born in Los Angeles last year, and his family is said to be happy living in southern California. Any new deal with the Galaxy will include provisions that would allow Beckham to return to England to prepare for and play in the Olympics, which fall during the M.L.S. regular season. The Galaxy opens preseason training on Jan. 20. The PSG move also might have been a long shot for commercial reasons; the club is sponsored by Nike, and Beckham has had a long and profitable relationship with Adidas.
