Former England captain David Beckham will not be offered a new
contract with Real Madrid, media reported on Wednesday.
"Beckham will leave us. We will not renew his contract," the
club's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic was quoted as saying on
Sky Italia TV.
Real have been offering the 31-year-old midfielder a two-year
extension to his current deal, which ends in June, but said they
wanted Beckham to make a quick decision on his future so they can
plan for next season.
As of Jan. 1, Beckham has been free to talk to other clubs with
teams in England, Italy and the United States interested in signing
him.
