Inter Milan are reportedly set to take legal action against David Beckham's American football franchise.
The former England captain has been working diligently on the project to get new MLS team Inter Miami off the ground.
However the Italian club are said to be unhappy of Beckham's use of the word Inter in naming his new side.
It is claimed by Calciomercato that Inter Milan are now preparing to sue Major League Soccer over the issue.
They report that the Serie A club have filed a lawsuit for Trademark Infringement in an attempt to protect the Inter name for themselves.
Now the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board must come to a decision, which is likely to go one of two ways.
The Inter brand could be trademarked solely to a single club, granting exclusive use only to the bearer, who would likely be Inter Milan.
Alternatively they could award in favour of Beckham and the MLS, and deem the word nothing more than a descriptive phrase thus granting Inter Miami the right to its use.
It is another hiccup in Beckham's dream though, which has hit plenty of snags along the way thus far.
Miami finally managed to acquire a stadium - albeit a temporary one - ahead of the kick off to the 2020 season, which they plan to be involved in.
