Goldenballs is being lined up to play in a football version of the megabucks IPL cricket league, which signs stars from round the world.
Becks, 38, has been approached along with former England teammate Michael Owen and ex-Spain legend Raul.
The franchise-based league of eight teams with 25-man squads would run from January 14 to March 13. And experts said Becks could easily pocket £1million for two months’ work. A source said: “Basically Becks can charge whatever he wants. What he would do for the league in terms of international interest and publicity is priceless.”
He announced his retirement from first-class football last month at the end of his season with French champs Paris Saint-Germain.
Becks — who starred for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and AC Milan — was thrown into the air by the team to celebrate his last game.
He has confirmed he is keen to invest in a US club — as revealed by The Sun two weeks ago — but could put his boots back on. His agent told The Sun: “We’re aware of the interest.”
If football Indian-style does not appeal, below we feature other future globe-trotting ways for Becks to keep busy.
