Although the club wants to keep him, there is still no deal for football star David Beckham to stay with the LA Galaxy, Tim Leiweke, president of Galaxy owner AEG, told the LA Times.

"The stories were all over the front page of every newspaper in Europe that he was going to Paris," Leiweke told the Times. "I told everyone I would not pay a lot of attention to that.

"And now that the stories are that he is going to the Galaxy, I would repeat the same advice: Premature.”

The former England captain's Major League Soccer contract expired in December—a month after he helped the Galaxy claim the MLS Cup crown.

"We have been talking with David about staying with the Galaxy for three months. And I said back in November, I was confident David would stay here and I still am,” continued Leiweke.

"Does it look more likely that is heading in that direction? Yes. Are we done? No."

Paris Saint-Germain, the big-spending Qatar-backed French club, was the most prominent outfit courting Beckham. But PSG sporting director Leonardo said in Doha on Tuesday that the club was no longer pursuing Beckham.

"He will not come to PSG," said the Brazilian Leonardo, citing "family reasons" for Beckham.

In numerous interviews in November, Beckham noted how much his family enjoyed living in Southern California.

However, Leiweke said there were other clubs still trying to lure Beckham.

"It’s not just Paris. He’s had other offers," Leiweke told the Los Angeles Times. "And every one is greater and more expansive, bigger than anything we’re talking about."
