Kylian Mbappé has hinted at a potential move to Major League Soccer following France's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The French captain, speaking after the match, mentioned that David Beckham had been encouraging him to join Inter Miami CF, saying, 'He's been chewing my ear off about it.'

France's World Cup campaign ended in the quarter-finals after a 2-1 loss to Argentina on July 10, 2026. Mbappé, who scored France's only goal in the match, expressed frustration with the team's performance but remained optimistic about the future.

Mbappé's contract with Paris Saint-Germain runs until 2027, but the 27-year-old has not ruled out a move to the United States. 'All roads may lead to Florida,' he joked, referencing Beckham's persistent recruitment efforts.

Inter Miami, co-owned by Beckham, has been linked with several high-profile players in recent years. Mbappé's potential arrival would be a major coup for MLS, which has seen growing interest from European stars.
