David Beckham said it’s possible he could be back in the MLS next season after his five-year contract expires. The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder turns 36 next month.

“Yeah, there’s a chance,” Beckham said Tuesday. “I haven’t made any decision about what I’m going to do after this year. I think it’s important that I just concentrate on my play this year.

“I feel fit, I feel good in games, I feel as if I’m performing well. I need to continue that and then in a few months I’ll think about what I want to do at the end of the day.”

Beckham spent about 10 minutes with reporters during a media availability at a downtown hotel. The former England captain also said he’s quite interested in the 2012 Olympics in London.

“I think it’d be something that I’d like to be involved in, and I’d like to be involved in as a player,” Beckham said. “But we’ll have to wait and see. That’s a year away yet. So we’ll see. I’ll enjoy the rest of this season, you know we’re only five games in.

“So I’ll enjoy this season and then in the future, we’ll see. It’s going to be a busy year.”
