    On the news they (bbc) said the bid now has gone up to €35 mil.
    That's the Barca offering btw

      Beckham has said he wants nothing to do with a move to Barcelona, according to the Grauniad:

      David Beckham's relationship with Manchester United was heading towards an acrimonious divorce last night when he proclaimed himself "disappointed and surprised".

        Barca can offer as much as they like, if Beckhams doesn't want to go the deals dead. My tip is he goes to Madrid for less than Barcas offer

            Nor a place in the Champions' League for next season. They're crazy to try and buy Beckham and they won't be successful - even if Laporta does win the election.

              I thought Madrid offered 35 Mill and ALex said he wanted 55? If he is going to Barca for 30 Mill then I'm sure that's less than Real were talking about.

                What if Beckham says he doesnt want to leave? Who's more important for MU fans, Sir Alex or Beckham? One will have got to go since I cant see Beckham sitting on the bench for a year. The fans'd be rabid.

                  I think Beckham will go though. His contract runs out in a couple of years, that's the longest he could stay for.

                    I'm not a United fan myself, but I'm pretty sure the answer to that is Sir Alex.

                        Why would anybody wants to pay that much for Beckham anyway? He's not that great.

                          No he isn't.

                          The reason he's so valuable however (rather than great) is because the merchandising and marketing opportunities he brings to a club are huge.
                          Real Madrid and Barca already sell 100 Billion replica shirts each year - if they bought Beckham they'd sell an additional 100 Billion with his name on the back.

                            They don't sell many in Asia though, buying Becks would solve that problem.

                            ManU will always sell shirts in Asia, Becks or no.

                              Another thing to bear in mind is that Beckham is now 28 years old and that his contract runs out in 2 years.

                              How much will he be worth when he's 30? 31? Will he leave United for free in two years anyway?

                              If United can get 30+ million pounds for him they would be foolish to turn it down.

                                Players do play longer then they used to do though, so age certainly isn't a problem ATM.
                                He still has 2 years on his current contract.
                                Might boil down to what posh wants
