Former England captain David Beckham has been offered a tempting 20 million pounds deal to join the Qatar Stars League.
According to a top Qatar source, “When it comes to money offers, Qatar is the biggest by far. Senior figures in the Q League feel Beckham has the total package and they need to up the interest in the game there around the world.”
‘A lucrative, long-term PR role as an ambassador for the Qatar 2022 World Cup could also follow for the ex-Manchester United midfielder‘, the paper said.
Beckham had asserted that he wanted to carry on playing after quitting MLS side LA Galaxy after five years in America.
The source added that the officials in the Qatar have seen what Beckham did in the US league and feel that type of transformation could be priceless.
“David is one of the few — possibly the only — soccer player who has the tools to revive the image of the game here.” The paper added.
