REDS LINE UP SHOCK BECKS SWOOP

REDS LINE UP SHOCK BECKS SWOOP

Liverpool's prospective owners are eyeing a shock move for David Beckham, according to a report.

The Sunday People claims Dubai International Capital (DIC) are close to completing their takeover of the club and are angered by suggestions that they will use the club as a short-term, money making exercise.

The new owners, led by Sheikh Maktoum, see a move for ex-Manchester United midfielder Beckham as the perfect way to reassure Reds supporters.

Beckham is out of contract at the end of the season and looks certain to leave Real Madrid where he has found himself a fringe player this season under new boss Fabio Capello.

It is claimed he already has offers on the table from Los Angeles Galaxy and New York Red Bulls as well as reported interest from clubs in Serie A.

The report suggests that Rafa Benitez sees Beckham as the solution to his problems on the right of midfield, with Jermaine Pennant having failed to impress since his summer move from Birmingham.

However, Liverpool are not one of the 15 clubs which the News of the World suggest have made contact with his agent.

Despite not featuring often at the Bernabeu, Madrid president Ramon Calderon said: "After the conversations we have had in recent months, David Beckham already has our offer for a new contract on the table. Now he has to decide.

"All of us would like to see him continue at our club and extend his contract."
