Becks is due to get $28 million as his basic salary when he moves to LA Galaxy. And guess what, that is only a fraction of the actual salary.
David Beckham’s playing contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy is worth about $27.5 million in base salary over five seasons, according to a person familiar with Major League Soccer agreements.
It’s a fraction of the $250 million income figure floated for the English star when he agreed to the deal last month.
Beckham’s average base salary of about $5.5 million was disclosed Friday by a person who had been briefed on the deal and who spoke on condition of anonymity because those details had not been announced.
Simon Oliveira, Beckham’s spokesman, would not confirm the figure but didn’t dispute it.
“That is only one element to his salary and package, which had to be disclosed in accordance with MLS guidelines,” Oliveira said.
AEG, the company that runs the Galaxy, trumpeted a far higher figure when Beckham’s agreement was announced last month.
So why Zidane is still hesitating to join his English counterpart and move to the States to resurrect his career?
