Galaxy Could Get Another Star: Figo

12:25 H | Topics: Celebrities - Sports

As many question whether it was worth it for the world's biggest active soccer star, David Beckham, to make the move from megateam Real Madrid to the Los Angeles Galaxy (and a country that still considers soccer a "funny" sport), yet another star who made his fame in the Spanish league is contemplating the same move. Luis Figo, the Portuguese superestrella formerly of Barça and Real Madrid now playing for Inter de Milan seems to have heard the sweet sound of cha-ching like David:

Ex Barça and Real Madrid player Luis Figo came to an agreement with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) to play in the U.S. professional league (MLS) next season, according to the Correio da Manha newspaper.

The publication reports that the Inter de Milán midfielder will get close to 7 million euros for 2 seasons and could play in the Chicago Fire, Houston Dynamos or Los Angeles Galaxy (where David Beckham plays), all teams that belong to AEG.

Correio da Manha reports that AEG's interest for Figo is nothing new and that the company wanted the Portuguese player for its last event, Red Bull New York.
