Beckham deal with PSG not yet done

DAVID Beckham is not yet a Paris St. Germain player, with French reports that a deal has been completed being described as "premature" by his management company.

The 36-year-old former England captain has been in talks with the French capital club, but could still accept an offer to stay at the Los Angeles Galaxy where his five-year deal ended after winning his first MLS Cup last month.

"No agreement has been reached with any club yet. Talks of a deal are premature," Beckham's management company, XIX Entertainment, said. "David has yet to make a final decision on his future."

The French media, though, seemed confident that Beckham will join big-spending PSG, with dailies L'Equipe and Le Parisien reporting yesterday that Beckham has agreed a deal to join the club next month.

Le Parisien claimed that Beckham would earn 800,000 euros (US$1.05 million) per month at PSG, whose wealthy Qatari owners have spent more than 85 million euros on players since buying the club in May.
