David Beckham. Real Madrid is waiting for an answer from David Beckham, to its offer of a contract extension until June 2009, local media reported Wednesday. According to the digital version sports daily AS, Real has given the former England captain until December 31 to respond to the offer, according to reports. Beckham's present Real contract expires in June 2007. Therefore, according to FIFA rules, if he decides not to extend it, he may negotiate with other clubs from 1 January on. Real is hoping that Beckham reflects upon the situation before the squad reports again for training on December 30. Real president Ramon Calderon said many times in the autumn that he wanted to extend Beckham's contract. AS claims that coach Fabio Capello now also wants Beckham to stay on, after making him first choice in Real's last three games. Beckham, 31, is desperate to finally win a trophy with Real. He remains the only foreigner in the club's history never to win either the Spanish cup or the Champions League.   點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (Moldova.org)

據當地媒體周三報道，皇馬俱樂部日前向貝克漢姆開出一份期限至2009年6月的續約合同，目前正在等待他的答復。 據AS體育報電子版消息，貝克漢姆必須在本月31日之前做出答復。 貝克漢姆與皇馬俱樂部所簽的合同于明年6月到期，根據國際足聯規定，如果貝克漢姆不打算續約，他可以從明年1月1日開始與其它俱樂部接觸。 皇馬俱樂部希望貝克漢姆在球隊12月30日恢復訓練之前認真考慮一下。 皇馬俱樂部總裁拉蒙·卡爾德隆說，今年秋天他多次想與貝克漢姆續約。據AS體育報報道，貝克漢姆在皇馬的最近三場比賽中進入首發陣容，而且表現不錯，因此主帥法比奧·卡佩羅目前也希望他能留下來。 今年31歲的貝克漢姆十分希望他能幫助皇馬奪得一項冠軍。貝克漢姆是皇馬歷史上唯一一位既沒獲過西甲聯賽冠軍也沒獲過歐洲杯冠軍的外籍球員。 （英語點津姍姍編輯）
