Beckham jokes he's forcing Neymar to sign for Inter Miami

David Beckham has joked that he has a contract in place to bring Neymar to Inter Miami in "10 years' time".

A number of top players across Europe have been linked with the new franchise, including Edinson Cavani, David Silva and Antoine Griezmann, with co-owner Beckham heavily involved in the "vetting" process .

The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder recently sat down with Neymar for the YouTube channel Otro, and proceeded to add the Brazilian to his list of future targets.

“America has a huge opportunity because they have many other sports that are the number one, two or three sports," Beckham said to the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.

“Soccer, now, is growing very quickly and I think it’s a real opportunity for America to have great players there.

“So I’m going to get you to sign a piece of paper after. A blank piece of paper. It’s going to be a contract for Miami, for 10 years’ time. We’re not going to pay much.”
