Exclusive: Patrick Bamford sets sights on David Beckham's Inter Miami

David Beckham could offer Patrick Bamford a dream move to the MLS, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal. 

The former Leeds United striker, 32, ended his seven-year tenure at Elland Road last month as he agreed to part ways with the club by mutual consent. 

It afforded Bamford more time to find the right fit for his future rather than having last week’s transfer window deadline hanging over his head.

It is understood that the former Whites’ promotion hero is eager on a move to America, where he turned down a scholarship at Harvard to pursue his career in England, after a potential move to Scottish giants Celtic fell through last week. 

Inter Miami are among a number of clubs discussing the option of taking the England one-cap wonder across the pond. 

Bamford was on Brendan Rodgers’ radar when he was forced to enter the free agent market to get a striker to Celtic. 

But talks between the pair stalled as Rodgers preferred a reunion with former Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

And our sources have been told Bamford is now planning for his future away from the UK. 

Inter Miami are one of the few teams in the league who would be willing to match his Leeds wage, understood to be in the region of £70,000. 

There are a number of suitors in Saudi Arabia and the Qatari Star League who are open to offering the striker a deal.

Sad End 

Bamford played a big part of the success in Leeds’s recent history. 

The £7million signing netted 16 goals as the club returned to the Premier League in 2020 and bagged 17 times in their first season back in the top flight.

Injuries have played the hitman’s carer in recent years and he was told he was surplus to requirements by boss Daniel Farke earlier this summer following last season’s promotion-winning campaign, where Bamford’s 17 league appearances all came off the bench.
