That was evident when the English legend and Inter Miami co-owner visited the French champions and interacted with some of the young talent as well as the superstars.

Video from the PSG training ground showed the former Manchester United superstar greeting Kylian Mbappe.

The duo shared a hug and a laugh as the French captain joked about the cold weather in the country compared to Miami, while Beckham replied that he brought the sun.

The former England international was also spotted chatting with other stars and the club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Beckham interacts with stars of the future

The Englishman wasn’t there just to see old friends, he also met new faces from the PSG Femeni side as he toured the new facilities.

As reported by Goal, he met with Korbin Albert, the 20-year-old United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) star. Her friends joked on social media that it must have been quite a moment for Beckham to have met the legend.

Swiss attacker Ramona Bachmann was humbler with her post, saying it was an honour to meet Becks.

Beckham’s time at PSG

After leaving Los Angeles in 2013, Beckham ended his career at the French side.

He only made 14 appearances for the team, and while he didn’t score any goals, he did notch up two assists, Transfermarkt reported.

He also was a part of the PSG that ended a 19-year drought to win the French league title.
