Judging by the French media, David Beckham's arrival in Paris is only a matter of when, not if. While there has been no official confirmation that Beckham has reached a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for what could be the last leg of his career, the headlines on the front and back pages of Wednesday's newspapers in France made it sound like a sure thing: “Le Voila!” (He's Here!) exclaimed L'Equipe, while Le Parisien stated “Il a dit Oui!” (He said Yes!). However, both Beckham and PSG did their best to cool down the speculation. “No agreement has been reached with any club yet – talks of a deal are premature,” Beckham's management company, XIX Entertainment, said in a statement to The Associated Press. “David has yet to make a final decision on his future.” PSG's director of communications, Bruno Skropeta would only say “we don't comment on rumors” when asked if reports of Beckham's imminent arrival were true. That hasn't stopped speculation about the former England captain's grandiose arrival in the French capital next month form picking up speed, with rumors that City Hall might even open its doors to welcome football's aging superstar. And there is a certain logic to Beckham picking the French capital for his next stint. Having gone from Madrid to Hollywood – with brief stints in Milan – Paris seems the perfect place for an icon of both football and fashion to end his career. “It's not surprising,” Marseille coach Didier Deschamps said, welcoming the idea of Beckham's possible arrival. “He's still a great professional, even though he's not so young anymore.” Le Parisien claims that the 36-year-old Beckham would earn €800,000 ($1.05 million) per month over 18 months at PSG.
