David Beckham is 31 years old, gone are his days of cannon ball shots and his contract with Real Madrid is expiring soon. Should he be extended? Definitely. Should he extend? Definitely.
David Beckham is getting old and a two year extension on what is still looking to become a big money spending for Real Madrid doesn’t make sense, unless he agrees on cheap contract, which I seriously doubt.
Why would Real open their wallets for David Beckham?
David Beckham is still the marketing phenomenal no matter how poor he plays, people love him and Real Madrid cannot let go of someone that generates enough money off his image to pay probably pay half of their team’s salaries. Given that he’s years are coming to end means a lot of fans are storming the stadium to see his final competitions. He isn’t like any superstar who fades as he grows old but the love and admiration of his loyal legions will pay their last respect to the person that occupied their hearts for more than a decade.
Is the image of David more important than his skill and performance for the team?
On the technical side, David can still play as proven in the FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 where he showed maturity, intelligence and composure to the squad. Real Madrid is till confident on David’s playing ability—Marketing is important but at Real Madrid the most important thing is the sporting factor and the technical (coaching) department gave the green light to renew Beckham’s deal.
Why would David Beckham stay with Real Madrid?
David Beckham on the other hand cannot sign with another club. He knows the system at Real Madrid, they have added great players, and his tenure at the team will easily see him make the most of what’s left in his career. He is bound to perform at this club better than with any other club in the world. By making the most out of his remaining years, he is expected to bring loads of cash rather than sign with another club and tank the last two years of his career. If he is going to leave Real, two years is not enough to build good camaraderie, team play chemistry and everything that should put his rhythm to where it belongs to allow him to perform at the highest level.
He may be old, but we can still expect some brilliant games from him, if he is playing for Real I mean.
