France Football is reporting that LA Galaxy star David Beckham is on the ground in Paris, and that the drama surrounding his potential move to Paris Saint-Germain should come to a conclusion soon.
Sky Sports has a report that says despite all the talk of David Beckham being in France this weekend and close to a deal with Paris Saint-Germain, it just ain't so. But what about those rumors of Victoria searching for a new place in Paris? Stay tuned.
David Beckham is always front-page news. On Wednesday, in France, the papers say the LA Galaxy star has agreed to join Paris-Saint Germain.
But a spokesman for Beckham's representatives, 19 Entertainment, issued a statement late on Tuesday night, denying the claims.
"No agreement has been reached with any club yet, talks of a deal are premature," the statement said. "David has yet to make a final decision on his future."
The statement was released in the wake of Sports Daily L'Equipe has Beckham on the cover with the headline: "All set for Beckham." Le Parisien's cover reads: "He has said yes." All the reports said he was due to make about $1 million a month for an 18-month contract.
Meanwhile, the MLS Cup-winning Galaxy have consistently said they are fighting to re-sign Beckham, whose initial five-year contract with the club comes to an end this year.
David Beckham is to return to elite European football after flying to France to sign a deal with Paris Saint-Germain. The former England captain will be unveiled at a news conference at the Parc des Princes later on Thursday afternoon.
The 37-year-old midfielder's private jet touched down in the French capital at around 11am this morning and he travelled on to a Parisian hospital to undertake a medical. Beckham has been a free agent since leaving Los Angeles Galaxy after five and a half years just before Christmas, but had spent some time recently training with Arsenal at their base in London Colney while he weighed up the next move.
The veteran had received 12 formal and lucrative offers from clubs in South America, South Africa, Russia, China, the Middle East, Australia and North America. The French second division club Monaco had made a tentative inquiry, but he has ultimately been swayed by the prospect of claiming a title in another major European league as well as competing again in the Champions League. PSG are of Ligue 1 from Lyon on goal difference as they seek a first French title since 1994 and will meet Valencia in the knockout phase of the European Cup next month.

David Beckham is in Paris Saint-Germain's squad to face bitter rival Marseille and could make his club debut in the French league on Sunday
The 37-year-old former England captain has not played since his last appearance for the Los Angeles Galaxy on Dec. 1, and has been stepping up his training in a bid to be ready for Sunday's game at Parc des Princes.
"Maybe he'll start, because he's fit to start," PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti told a news conference on Saturday. "If he starts, he'll play in central midfield."
PSG leads second-place Lyon by three points and third-place Marseille by five heading into this weekend's matches.
