David Beckham wants move from LA Galaxy to Australia's A-League during MLS off-season

David Beckham could be set to make a short-term move to the A-League after Football Federation Australia this morning claimed it was in talks to bring the former England captain Down Under.

Beckham signed a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy in January, but could spend part of the Major Soccer League off-season in Australia.

The 37-year-old has previously joined AC Milan on loan between MLS seasons and the FFA said it had been approached by his management about the possibility of a deal to see him play in the A-League.
"The approach from David Beckham's people is another sign of how much the Hyundai A-League has grown in stature on a global basis," an FFA spokesperson said.
"Beckham is a superstar on the world stage and he would be another massive signing for the Hyundai A-League after the arrivals of Alessandro Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono.
"But this approach remains at a very preliminary stage."

Reports in Australia suggest that any move for Beckham would likely see him agree a 10-match stay.
A spokesman for Beckham was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Press Association Sport.
Beckham could play his last Galaxy game of the season this weekend when his side meet the Seattle Sounders in the second leg of their Western Conference Championship play-off.
The Galaxy hold a 3-0 advantage, however, after Robbie Keane struck twice in the first leg.
Should Beckham make the move he would join the likes of former Juventus and Italy star Del Piero and Heskey who joined the A-League in the summer.
Any move for Beckham would need to be part-funded by the FFA with the A-League clubs, who work under a salary cap, unlikely to be able to afford his demands.
Most of the Australian clubs have also already secured their marquee player – whose wages are not registered under the salary cap – for the new season, which began early last month.
Last season's beaten grand finalists Perth Glory are yet to fill that position, however, and their chief executive Paul Kelly immediately indicated they would be keen to make a move for the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder.
"We are always happy to speak to players of the calibre of David Beckham, who would be great for the Hyundai A-League as illustrated by the effect of Alessandro Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono," he said.
"At the end of the day it's the coach, Ian Ferguson who makes these decisions and we as a club, have a process that we follow when recruiting players.
"But we would be mad not to seriously consider David Beckham."
Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou has already ruled out making an approach for Beckham.
