David & Victoria Beckham Returning To The UK?
Just a year after moving out to Los Angeles, it looks like the Beckhams American dream could be about to end, as rumours emerge of a desire to leave LA and head back to the UK.
Last January it was announced that David Beckham had signed for the LA Galaxy, ending his successful stint at Spain’s Real Madrid, and signalling a future in the States for the footballer and his untalented wife.
At the time, Beckham secured a five year contract worth £120,000 (about $250,000) a week, but seeing as he spent most of his first season “playing” at the club on the bench, I’m not sure that was such a good investment.
The celebrity couple were welcomed to LA by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who threw a massive party for their new showbiz mates… although it didn’t work and Becks hasn’t signed up to become a Scientologist.
Now, according to a source speaking to OK! Magazine, Becks is eyeing a possible return to the UK, stating he would be happiest if someone bought out his contract with Galaxy, enabling him to play in England while still earning the same sort of money.
“David is very close to his family and would much rather be living in the UK. A lot of things haven’t gone the way they thought it would.”
It’s not just Mr. Beckham who seems to want to return home either, as Victoria has seen her dVb range of jeans only sell about a third of what was originally expected.
A spokesperson for the Beckhams was quick to deny the claims, but then they would wouldn’t they?!?
I think we’d welcome the couple back with open arms, as Becks is still a great footballer, although maybe not as good as he was at the height of his talent.
Posh meanwhile, despite not being everyone’s favourite person (me included) could return with her head held high on the back of The Spice Girls recent world tour, which despite being cut short, sold out everywhere it played.
