    Beckham Leaves Man Utd !

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    David Beckham will join Real Madrid.

    The England captain has reportedly agreed a four-year contract with the La Liga title contenders after Manchester United accepted a £25 million deal.

    United will only receive £17.5 million up front - £10 million less than was expected - but could rise to £25 million depending on appearances and the 28-year-old enjoying success in Madrid, possibly including Real reclaiming the Champions League.

    And Beckham has snubbed Barcelona to join the Catalan club's major rivals, Sky Sports News understands.

    Providing he passes a medical the day before, he will formally put pen to paper on July 2 to join Real's galaxy of stars - including Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Raul, Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane - at the Bernabeu.

    Beckham's agents SFX said: "The deal is imminent, if not concluded."

    Beckham becomes Manchester United's most expensive sale ever as he ends a career at Old Trafford which spans a decade, 397 games and 88 goals.

    Sky Sports' La Liga expert Guillem Balague said that Beckham signed a pre-contract agreement with Real on May 12 and will earn £90,000 a week, putting him on a par with the nine-times European Cup winners' top earners.

    New Barcelona president Joan Laporta based his election campaign on his intention to sign Beckham, but the Leytonstone-born midfielder, recently awarded the OBE, never opened talks with Barcelona.

    Barcelona themselves attempted to bring the long-running transfer saga to a close by giving Beckham an ultimatum to sign by the end of the week - but the right-sided midfielder opted for Real instead.

    Beckham's departure was first mooted as United faced Real in the Champions League quarter-finals and gathered pace when Sir Alex Ferguson left him on the bench when the two teams met at Old Trafford.

    Beckham himself is currently travelling to Japan.

    I hope he does well and gets a break from the constant press attention but I doubt it. The tabloids will just up root and follow him round Spain though.

    There's no doubting his ability, I just hope he proves that to Europes elite.
