Beckham 7/1 To Retire

With speculation growing about David Beckham's future, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing on the first day of the next Premiership season - and make him a 6/4 chance still to be a Real Madrid player.

"With his star well and truly on the wane, Beckham may be well advised to stay where he is or consider taking a big drop in salary" said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.

However, William Hill make him 4/1 to have joined an Major League Soccer club in the USA by the start of next season, and also offer 6/1 that he is an Arsenal player by then; 13/2 with Spurs; 7/1 retired or not registered to any club; 10/1 with any Italian club; 14/1 at West Ham; 14/1 with any other Spanish club than Real; 20/1 back at Manchester United; 25/1 with Chelsea; 40/1 at any French club; 80/1 with a Saudia Arabian/Qatar/UAE club; 80/1 with a J League club; 14/1 with any other unquoted British club.
