David Beckham's Inter Miami are set to rake in $50,000 (£40,000) from their MLS rivals Los Angeles FC after missing out on Gareth Bale.
The Welsh wizard was being courted by a whole host of top clubs after it was confirmed that his trophy-laden nine-year spell at Real Madrid would officially end this summer. But LAFC have beaten off stiff competition to land Bale on an initial one-year deal.
Snapping up Bale is a major coup for the club, who have not even had to use one of their designated player spots to bring the 32-year-old in. But they will have to shell out a small amount to compensate one of their MLS rivals for missing out on the five-time Champions League winner.
