Becks snubs Inter Thursday 11 January, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham will not be joining Inter in the summer after he agreed to a five-year contract with LA Galaxy.The former England captain has been in and out of the Real side this season and sporting director Predrag Mijatovic confirmed that the player would not renew his agreement. This revived Inter’s hopes of bringing the 31-year-old to the San Siro, but he has now signed himself up for a lucrative MLS stint.“This week Real Madrid asked me to make a decision regarding my future and the offer was to extend my contract for a further two seasons,” said Beckham to Reuters.“I considered several options – to stay in Madrid or move to other important English and European teams – but I have decided to join LA Galaxy,” added the player.It has been suggested that the American club has offered £128m spread over five years to convince Beckham to move across the Atlantic.“He wants to continue playing football and would like to sponsor this sport in the United States,” said a source close to the player.“He also wants to live near the football academy that he opened in Los Angeles. He likes the lifestyle in California and believes it’s an ideal place for his family to live in.”Inter were considering the idea of making an offer for Beckham to replace Luis Figo, who will leave the outfit to join Arabian side Al-Ittihad in July.
