Beckham Flying High
It is rumoured that famous footballer David Beckham is set to buy a £7 million jet in order to commute between his family and his job more easily.
David, now 33 years old, is rumoured to be buying a luxury Bombardier Learjet so that he can spend as much time with his family – wife Victoria, and sons Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six and Cruz, three, while he is on loan from his current American team, Los Angeles Galaxy, to Italian club AC Milan for eight weeks in January.
According to a source quoted in the Daily Star newspaper: “He’s going to have to sacrifice a lot by moving back to Europe in January. The only thing we can think of is if he either buys or rents his own jet for a couple of months…He’ll be able to fly back to Los Angeles between games and meet up with the family. It might cost a bit but you can’t put a price on time with your children.”
But how does his wife of nine years, famous ex-Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham feel about this?
It is thought that she would prefer him to play for English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur so that they can be nearer their family in the UK, but according to David: “Wherever I play and whatever I do in my career, she’ll support me. Just because I’m playing in Europe it doesn’t mean the whole family must again re-route.”
Of course, having your own private jet also goes against the rules of major league soccer in the US, which says that players aren’t allowed to travel by private jet so that they don’t seem different from their fans. So if these plans do go through, I wonder how fellow teammates will feel about David’s ‘special treatment’.
Either way, it is also thought that Becks has already found somewhere to live while over in Italy, in the form of a multi-million pound penthouse, thanks to the help of AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini.
It’s alright for some…not that I’m jealous or anything…
