DAVID BECKHAM has sparked a race for his signature after going
behind Fabio Capellos back to attend Tom Cruises wedding in
Rome.
The Real Madrid boss is fuming and that has alerted Blackburn,
Bolton, Charlton, Celtic, Inter and AC Milan along with USA clubs
LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls.
Capello yesterday confirmed he did not give the midfield ace
permission to leave Madrid ahead of Cruises showbiz wedding to
actress Katie Holmes tonight.
Club officials later claimed Beckhams trip had been approved but
Capello clearly had no idea and will not take kindly to being
exposed.
The Real boss insisted Becks had to stay in Madrid even though a
knee injury ruled him out of tonights match against Racing
Santander.
He said: David is injured. He has to stay in Madrid and
work.
When asked directly if that meant Beckham would have to miss the
wedding of the year, Capello replied: Thats not my
problem.
Beckham, 31, trained in the gym yesterday because of his
injury.
But only minutes after Capellos comments, the former England
skipper had been photographed in Italy, sparking confusion at the
Bernabeu.
Becks admitted last month he is unhappy at being overlooked by
Capello and that he would consider his future if he was continually
sub.
Real president Ramon Calderon confirmed recently Beckham has not
responded to an offer of a two-year extension of his
contract.
Bernabeu director Pedrag Mijatovic said: Beckham wants to think
about it with his people because his contract ends in June and a
lot of clubs could call him. He hasnt responded to us.
