Beckham says not rushing next move
LONDON, England (AFP) — David Beckham insists he has no intention of rushing into his next move as the former Manchester United star considers several offers from teams across the world.
Beckham left LA Galaxy earlier this month at the end of his contract after helping the California side win the MLS Cup and is now looking for the right option for what will likely be the last club of his illustrious career.
The 37-year-old former Real Madrid midfielder, who spent five years in LA, has been been linked with QPR in England and Monaco in France, as well as teams from China and Australia.
A spokesman for Beckham said the former England captain plans to weigh up his options over the holiday period and isn’t concerned about coming to a quick decision.
“There are a number of serious proposals on the table from a host of clubs across the world,” the spokesperson said.
“David is in no hurry to make a decision, the key is making the right one as he has always done successfully in his career.
“It’s early days in the process. David is enjoying spending quality time with his family over the holidays.”
It is believed reports in France that Beckham has priced himself out of a move to Monaco are premature.
Monaco, currently second in Ligue 2, are coached by former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri, who has previously stated his interest in bringing Beckham to the club and is backed by wealthy Russian owner Dimitri Rybolovlev.
