David - who last week agreed a staggering £128 million deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer club - has apparently been planning to move to the US for months because the world's leading experts in the illness are based in Los Angeles.
The 31-year-old sports star and his former Spice Girl wife Victoria, 32, reportedly told friends they would move "to the ends of the earth" to get the best care for the four-year-old.
A source said: "The main reason for the move is Romeo. They are desperate to find a way to control his epilepsy and have been doing their research. The best place to get the medical attention he needs is Los Angeles - they even carry out high-tech, experimental surgery to try and control the condition."
Meanwhile, celebrities are flocking to get their hands on soccer tickets to see the former England captain play.
Rod Stewart, Steven Spielberg and Jennifer Lopez are among the stars snapping up season tickets to watch the Los Angeles Galaxy next season.
A source said: "The ticket office has been buzzing with the name of people who bought a ticket. We've never had so many calls in such a short time."
