English soccer super star David Bechham will sign a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of his final season with his current team, Real Madrid. Beckham’s new contract is rumored to be worth around $250 million to be paid over an undisclosed amount of time.

Beckham’s stateside arrival does not come as a huge surprise, as many experts have been speculating about his arrival in the MLS for several months.

The soccer star has recently become increasingly frustrated with his role with Real Madrid. Beckham started just five of the team’s 16 games last season and his playing time with the first team was cut dramatically.

Even though his skills have been in decline Beckham will no doubt be one of the premiere players in the MLS and could provide the kind of superstar power needed to boost MLS into the mainstream.
