Real Madrid soccer star and husband of estranged Posh Spice, David Beckham has signed with American MLS club LA Galaxy. He will rake in nearly $250 million from the deal.
David Beckham agreed to a five-year deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer, leaving the Real Madrid club at which he enjoyed worldwide popularity but experienced disappointment on the field. Beckham, the former English captain who also starred for Manchester United, will join the Galaxy after his contract with Real Madrid expires on June 30. Los Angeles opens its season April 8 in Houston. “I am proud to have played for two of the biggest clubs in football and I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world’s most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own,” he said in a statement released Thursday. The move was announced following the end of talks on extending the 31-year-old English midfielder’s contract with the Spanish club. MLS recently changed its rules on salary caps, clearing the way for Beckham to sign a lucrative deal. British news reports put the Galaxy deal at $250 million.
Now just wait it out, soon enough Paris and Lohan will be dancing naked on this guy at the L.A. clubs, most likely causing a divorce.
