LONDON -- David Beckham will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season to join the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer in a five-year deal.
The move was announced Thursday following the end of talks on extending the 31-year-old English midfielder's contract with the Spanish club.
"This week, Real Madrid asked me to make a decision regarding my future and the offer to extend my contract by a further two seasons," Beckham said in a statement.
"After discussing several options with my family and advisers to either stay here at Madrid or join other major British and European clubs, I have decided to join the Los Angeles Galaxy and play in the MLS from August this year."
Beckham's four-year contract with Madrid expires at the end of this season. He joined the team from Manchester United in 2003, where he had won six league titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League title.
He hasn't won a major trophy since joining Madrid.
"I have enjoyed my time in Spain enormously and I am extremely grateful to the club for giving me the opportunity to play for such a great team and their amazing fans," Beckham said.
Beckham has been unhappy this season at Madrid under coach Fabio Capello. He has started only seven of 25 matches and was left off the squad for Thursday's Copa del Rey match against Real Betis.
Beckham has a soccer academy in Los Angeles. His wife Victoria, a former Spice Girl, was recently photographed house-hunting in Los Angeles.
MLS recently changed its rules on salary caps, clearing the way for Beckham to sign a lucrative deal.
"I am proud to have played for two of the biggest clubs in football and I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world's most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own," Beckham said.

its going to be a very short and luxurious deal. Might boost up soccer in USA a bit but there needs to be more then 1 ex-star player in the league.
This is something that most soccer players do towards the end of their career anyway, some like batistuta go to kuwait to collect a hefty paycheck. You also got the ones who go to their old teams they grew up with. Then you got players like stoichkov, valderamma, beckham and many more who just wanna live a good life and come to USA. Those are the final days for them so even though they have big names, their game is usually washed up.
The fact that MLS salary cap rules changed is a big thing though. With all the money USA has they can easily build a solid league. If someone really wanted to who is in charge, they could make the MLS the strongest league in south/north America. Not that much history behind it but if they dump some money into it, it shouldnt stop usa from building one.
