Real Madrid president: Beckham will get new deal
|
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has assured David Beckham his long-term future is in Spain, despite being dumped by England this week.
The Bernabeu top brass believe that their hand has been strengthened by Beckham's departure from the England team, while Beckham's camp are hopeful that the collapse of the galactico system and the installation of a new regime under Calderon and the sporting director Predrag Mijatovic may bring some stability and resolution to the negotiating table.
"You have to keep the financial and marketing side of the business done in the right way," Calderon said. "David is very important for us in every way. He's a first-class player and important commercially, too."
Beckham has 11 months to run on his current deal and will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January 1. He admitted in February that it was a "bit strange" not to have renewed his contract yet but Calderon spoke to Beckham's manager during the club's pre-season tour of the United States, insisting that he wants to sign a deal "as soon as possible".
