:BBC Sport said:
Beckham 'to leave Real in summer'
David Beckham will leave Real Madrid in the summer, according to the club's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic.
"Beckham will leave us, we will not renew his contract with the club," he told Sky Italia television.

The 31-year-old, whose current deal expires in June, has been linked with a host of clubs from England, Italy, Spain, France and the United States.

Beckham has found his opportunities limited at Real this season under coach Fabio Capello.


Host of clubs in England, Italy, Spain, France and USA?

Okay England clubs who could afford him and he would play for? Man U or Chelsea. Clubs that would want him, well certainly not Man U or Chelsea, possibly Bolton? Man City (ex United so no), Liverpool (ex United so no), Everton (well Phil Neville did so perhaps), Arsenal (Wenger was an admirer but they hardly need an old right winger), Tottenham (possibly), Portsmouth (seem to like older players with something to prove so a possibility).

Okay Italy, can't see a top team wanting him and Italian football is in a bit of a state at the moment. (also he has only just learnt Spanish so can't see him starting Italian lessons.)

France? Can't see it.

USA? Nah.

Spain? Well he won't go to Barcelona or Athletico Madrid, so possibly Valencia, can't see him going to too many other clubs there.

If I was a betting man I would say Bolton or Portsmouth.

Reports that he`s a shoe-in as player/manager at Kettering Town are unconfirmed.


Seriously though, what about West Ham? Or is USA possible?

Given that he would come on a free and the winning club would have a share of his (conceded now fading) image rights, I'd imagine several premiership clubs would be interested in his services. Two year contract at £100,000 a week anyone?

Hasn't he already stated on the record he wants to end his career in the US?

He's just booked with easyjet to Newcastle, actually. Posh likes the Metrocentre, they both love the quayside, quiet pints in the beresford with shearer, stotties, um great curries from komal; it's a done deal, people!

Here's looking forward to the 3-6-1 formation

Good luck to him, he has been a model professional, along with Alan Shearer........

he is going to the us. not sure if any of you follow the mls(i sure dont) but next season they are allowing one player per club with no salary cap or something of the sorts, so expect lots of washed up superstars showing up in america.

[quote=Landon Donovan (Galaxy's star player)] Beckham's arrival would be a huge boost to MLS.

"I think it's hard to quantify what David Beckham being here would mean," he said.

"Marketing-wise it's a dream come true and it's not a 35, 36-year-old washed-up guy.

absolutely correct


he's a 32-year-old washed-up guy

Has he given up on any chance of playing for England?
