Miami United FC in talks over Qatar investment - reports

Paris Saint-Germain majority shareholder Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) is holding talks to buy a stake in David Beckham's proposed new Major League Soccer franchise Miami United FC, according to reports.

The Miami Herald reported last week that former England captain Beckham was shopping around shares and that there was significant interest from QSI, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and more.

Miami Beckham United (MBU), the ownership vehicle behind the proposed franchise, issued a statement confirming talks were taking place and the BBC and The Guardian report that QSI is now in negotiations over an equity stake.
