Will David Beckham leave Real Madrid this year? On Wednesday, the soccer world got its answer–sort of. After giving Beckham until next week to consider a contract extension, Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic told an Italian TV station talks had fallen through. “Beckham will leave us,” he said. “We will not renew his contract.” But before MLS fans could start ordering their Beckham L.A. Galaxy jerseys, Beckham’s spokesperson told PA Sport, “We have spoken to [Madrid] this afternoon and as far as we are concerned, a significant two-year deal remains on the table.” Beckham’s people explained Mijatovic’s comments by saying they think he was misquoted or misunderstood the question.
