David Beckham is poised to write the final chapter of his playing career in France after being offered an "eye-wateringly" huge deal.
The former England captain, 36, had been close to signing a one-year extension to his 128 million pounds, five-year deal with Los Angeles Galaxy.
But last night a
close friend revealed Paris Saint-Germain, one of the richest football teams in the world, had approached him with a deal that "we just cannot ignore".
Paris Saint-Germain was bought in May by the Qatar Investment Authority, which is worth 38 billion pounds.
If the deal goes through, Beckham would have to commute between Paris and Los Angeles, as his wife Victoria would remain in California. The couple's sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, ten, and Cruz, six, are settled in LA. Their daughter Harper was born there three months ago.
