MIAMI, Oct 29 (Reuters) – Retired England soccer star David

Beckham has chosen Miami for a new U.S. Major

League Soccer expansion team, a source familiar with the

negotiations said on Tuesday.

The former England captain, who retired from soccer earlier

this year, played in MLS with the L.A. Galaxy and his contract

included an option to create a new team for $25 million.

He had been considering several locations and toured Miami

this summer where he met with city and county leaders.
