It’s the itch that plagued Brett Favre for many years and even got to Michael Phelps. It’s the itch to come out of retirement.
That’s right, the internationally renowned 39-year-old soccer star is considering a comeback. Beckham last played for Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1 (French first division) in 2013.
Since then, he’s been busy with many projects, including making making a BBC documentary about his travels in the Amazon and cheering on the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup playoffs. In his documentary, he cites that he has had a difficult time coping with retirement. His time away from soccer, along with seeing fellow athletes compete at a high level, has developed an itch that Beckham may want to scratch.
One possible destination for his return is Miami, Fla., where he recently bought an MLS expansion team.
