DAVID BECKHAM can quit Real Madrid for a cut-price £5million in
January.
The former England captain, 31, is fed up with life on the bench
under new coach Fabio Capello and is refusing to sign a new
contract.
Now the Spanish giants are prepared to take a £20m loss on the
player when the transfer window opens rather than lose him for
nothing next summer.
Real bought Becks from Manchester United in July 2003 for £25m. A
club source said: Beckham has made his feelings clear over the
past few days.
If the coach continues to leave him out of the team then there is
every chance we will accept a suitable offer for him in
January.
Becks was used as a late sub in Sundays 2-0 win over rivals
Barcelona after claiming life at Real was sad and
frustrating.
At £5m, there will be plenty of interest from Premiership clubs
even though he recently said he would not return home.
Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder believes there would be no shortage of
suitors if he changed his mind. He insisted: I think a lot of
clubs in the Premiership would like to have David Beckham.
Im sure hes got plenty to offer whether he stays at Real or
moves on.
Beck should just stay on till Jun and
get the bonus sign on fee for himself rather than let Madrid have
it...
