Beckham 'to leave Real in summer' Beckham's Madrid future undecided
(30 minutes later)
David Beckham will leave Real Madrid in the summer, according to the club's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic. David Beckham's future at Real Madrid remains unclear after reports that the Spanish club would not offer the former England captain a new contract.
"Beckham will leave us, we will not renew his contract with the club," he told Sky Italia television. Predrag Mijatovic, Real's sporting director, was reported to have told Sky Italia there would be no new deal.
The 31-year-old, whose current deal expires in June, has been linked with a host of clubs from England, Italy, Spain, France and the United States. However, Mijatovic later said his words had been mistranslated and he actually said: "Beckham's contract has not been renewed, yet."
Beckham has started just nine times for the Primera Liga side this season under coach Fabio Capello. However, the BBC understands talks are scheduled to go ahead later this week.
The player's spokesman Simon Oliveira said he was surprised by the news after telling the BBC Sport website last week that a new two-year deal had been put on the table.
Oliveira told BBC Sport: "Nobody has said anything to us. As far as we're concerned, the offer is still there and a meeting is due this week."
Meanwhile, the Spanish club have opted, at this stage, not to back up their employee's claim.
"There is nothing official confirmed yet on Beckham's future," said a spokesman for club president Ramon Calderon.
Beckham, who signed for Real for £25m in July 2003, is one of six senior players to have been left out of Real's Copa del Rey game with Real Betis on Thursday.
The other 'Galactico' to have been omitted from the 18-man squad is Brazil striker Ronaldo, who was also tipped to leave the Bernabeu along with the former England captain by Spanish newspaper AS on Tuesday.
Beckham has found it difficult to secure a place in the first team this season with Capello often preferring Raul, Robinho and Jose Antonio Reyes on the wing.
The former Manchester United player was included in the starting XI for the league matches against Getafe, Sevilla and Recreativo Huelva, but Real lost all three games.
Beckham also started September's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Lyon.
In the nine matches he has started, Real have been defeated in all but two.
