REDS LINE UP SHOCK BECKS SWOOP
Posted 31/12/06 10:33

Liverpool's prospective owners are eyeing a shock move for David Beckham, according to a report.

The Sunday People claims Dubai International Capital (DIC) are close to completing their takeover of the club and are angered by suggestions that they will use the club as a short-term, money making exercise.

The new owners, led by Sheikh Maktoum, see a move for ex-Manchester United midfielder Beckham as the perfect way to reassure Reds supporters.

Beckham is out of contract at the end of the season and looks certain to leave Real Madrid where he has found himself a fringe player this season under new boss Fabio Capello.

It is claimed he already has offers on the table from Los Angeles Galaxy and New York Red Bulls as well as reported interest from clubs in Serie A.

The report suggests that Rafa Benitez sees Beckham as the solution to his problems on the right of midfield, with Jermaine Pennant having failed to impress since his summer move from Birmingham.

However, Liverpool are not one of the 15 clubs which the News of the World suggest have made contact with his agent.

Despite not featuring often at the Bernabeu, Madrid president Ramon Calderon said: "After the conversations we have had in recent months, David Beckham already has our offer for a new contract on the table. Now he has to decide.

"All of us would like to see him continue at our club and extend his contract."

Becks to stall through sales

DAVID BECKHAM will stall his way through the January sales so he can improve his bargaining position with offers from rival clubs.

Real Madrid are furious Becks has not signed after offering their midfielder a two-year, £100,000-a-week deal and 50 per cent image rights.

But from today the Spanish giants are powerless to stop Becks inviting other clubs to top their offer.

A Beckham spokesman insisted: David has no intention of leaving the club in January.

He still wants to play a big part in the remainder of the season with Real Madrid and talks are ongoing.

Becks, 31, missed training yesterday with neck trouble.

15 CLUBS GO FOR BECKHAM

DAVID BECKHAM is free to talk to any club in the world and FIFTEEN have already made contact with his agents.

The Real Madrid midfielder , 31, insists he will not leave this January, even though his contract at the Bernabeu runs out in June. But Sport of the World can reveal 15 clubs have asked about the former England skipper.

Speculation has been rife that Real will accept a low fee for the English superstar as soon as the transfer window opens tomorrow. Real president Ramon Calderon last night said: "After the conversations we have had in recent months, David Beckham already has our offer for a new contract on the table. Now he has to decide.

"All of us would like to see him continue at our club and extend his contract."

Beckham has been offered a two-year deal on his current terms but that means his image rights would remain at 50 per cent. So Becks, who returned to training yesterday after the Spanish winter break, may wait to see how many games he starts for the rest of the season before deciding.

And if he opts to leave Madrid, he could land the biggest signing-on fee in football history as much as £10m at his new club.
