David Beckham's business partner Tim Leiweke says he fears that a stadium deal in Miami won't get done.

Beckham is part of an ownership group looking to secure a Major League Soccer franchise in Miami, a goal that has thus far proven elusive.

MLS commissioner Don Garber has insisted that Beckham's group must have a viable stadium plan in place before the league awards Miami an expansion franchise.

Beckham appeared to make a breakthrough in June, winning a court battle to purchase the land for a 25,000-sea stadium, with Miami-Dade County sanctioning a $9 million deal.
