Romeo Beckham has reportedly taken the decision to turn down playing alongside Lionel Messi at Inter Miami next season, instead choosing to stay with Brentford.
The 20-year-old has spent the last six months on loan in London with the Bees, and though he has made no impression on the first team, they are keen to keep him around next season, potentially on a permanent basis.
The decision has came after Romeo struggled with the long-distance nature of his relationship with girlfriend Mia Regan, who remained in the US while he trained in London.
