David Beckham (50) drew attention by confessing that he refused to transfer to Barcelona in the process of moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid.
Beckham said on the 7th (Korea time) that the Manchester United club agreed to transfer to Barcelona in the first broadcast of his show "Beckham & Friends," which was streamed on the U.S. "Paramount+."
Beckham moved to Real Madrid through the summer transfer window in 2003. At that time, Manchester United agreed with Barcelona to transfer Beckham, but Beckham asked the club himself and decided on a destination for Real Madrid, not Barcelona.
"The team I wanted to play for in Spain has always been Real Madrid. But I got a phone call saying that Manchester United accepted Barcelona's offer," Beckham said. "I was on vacation when Peter Kenyon (then Manchester United general manager) called and said, 'I have agreed to transfer with Barcelona.' "
Beckham said, "If I'm going to make a transfer, I'll only play for Real Madrid. My dream was to play for Real since I was young. I never imagined that I would leave Manchester United, but if I did, it would be Real," adding, "So Manchester United finally took a step back and the transfer was made in half a day."
"I felt that life could change completely in a day or two. I was on vacation with Victoria (wife) and one child, and I left for Manchester United, but when I returned, I was a Real player. I signed with Manchester United when I was 12 years old, joined at 15 years old, and I was 27 years old, but I didn't have time to prepare mentally," Beckham recalled. 바카라
"Honestly, it wasn't easy. I haven't seen Manchester United play for three years since my transfer. It was so heartbreaking," Beckham said. "Still, I was satisfied with my life in Real."
The broadcast was conducted with film director Guy Ritchie and actor Stanley Tucci watching the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
