David Beckham. Real Madrid is waiting for an answer from David Beckham, to its offer of a contract extension until June 2009, local media reported Wednesday. According to the digital version sports daily AS, Real has given the former England captain until December 31 to respond to the offer, according to reports. Beckham's present Real contract expires in June 2007. Therefore, according to FIFA rules, if he decides not to extend it, he may negotiate with other clubs from 1 January on. Real is hoping that Beckham reflects upon the situation before the squad reports again for training on December 30. Real president Ramon Calderon said many times in the autumn that he wanted to extend Beckham's contract. AS claims that coach Fabio Capello now also wants Beckham to stay on, after making him first choice in Real's last three games. Beckham, 31, is desperate to finally win a trophy with Real. He remains the only foreigner in the club's history never to win either the Spanish cup or the Champions League.   点击查看更多双语新闻 (Moldova.org)

据当地媒体周三报道，皇马俱乐部日前向贝克汉姆开出一份期限至2009年6月的续约合同，目前正在等待他的答复。 据AS体育报电子版消息，贝克汉姆必须在本月31日之前做出答复。 贝克汉姆与皇马俱乐部所签的合同于明年6月到期，根据国际足联规定，如果贝克汉姆不打算续约，他可以从明年1月1日开始与其它俱乐部接触。 皇马俱乐部希望贝克汉姆在球队12月30日恢复训练之前认真考虑一下。 皇马俱乐部总裁拉蒙·卡尔德隆说，今年秋天他多次想与贝克汉姆续约。据AS体育报报道，贝克汉姆在皇马的最近三场比赛中进入首发阵容，而且表现不错，因此主帅法比奥·卡佩罗目前也希望他能留下来。 今年31岁的贝克汉姆十分希望他能帮助皇马夺得一项冠军。贝克汉姆是皇马历史上唯一一位既没获过西甲联赛冠军也没获过欧洲杯冠军的外籍球员。 （英语点津姗姗编辑）
