Beckham’s move to Monaco might not materialise due to wage demands despite the Ligue 2 outfit being linked with the former Manchester United star on several occasions
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 might not join AS Monaco this January, as recent reports suggest that the Englishman is proving to be too expensive for the French outfit. The player’s wage demands might sabotage the negotiations taking place between the two parties.
Since the French side was overtaken by Russian billionaire Dmitri Rybolovlev, the club has been keen on adding world-class players to their squad. Les Rouge-et-Blanc have been pursuing players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 and David Beckham, while appearing determined
to qualify for the Ligue 1 next season.
The Principality-based club was among the desired destinations for the Becks, as it had everything that they were looking for. Since his departure from Manchester United, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international has played in several leagues all around the world
including Spanish Primera Division, Italian Serie A and the Major League Soccer. With the prized French Ligue still missing from the player’s profile, the talented playmaker was willing for a move to the Ligue 2 outfit.
However, progress has been halted following the extravagant wage demands by the English superstar. Despite their cash-laden reserves, Monaco appear hesitant to sign the former LA Galaxy player.
Claudio Ranieiri has been a huge admirer of Beckham, and it seems like that the player is the coach’s preference, rather than the administration. The Italian tactician is keen on bringing the English duo to the Stade Louis II this January.
The coach had words of praise for the 37-year-old, as he hailed the former Manchester United legend. The Italian said:
“Beckham keeps a passion for football, that's what interests me. It would be helpful in all aspects of the development of the club.”
He added:
“He could share his passion with our young players, at 37 years old, he continues to improve and be professional. All young players need an experienced coach but also references in the locker room.”
David Beckham is believed to be interested in a return to England, with Queens Park Rangers being reportedly interested in the player. However, only time will tell, as where the player would be heading next.
