The Beckhams Are Jumping the Pond

It's finally official, David and Victoria Beckham will be packing their bags and relocating to Los Angeles later this year.

A source close to the couple said, "David has just signed the biggest deal in global sport history with the Galaxy soccer team. It is worth several hundred million dollars over five years. They will move after he finishes this season playing in Madrid."

Beckham has signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy team which will move the family to LA on a full time basis.

Beckham has been playing for Real Madrid and has been in negotiations with his bosses over his contract renewal. Although he is one of the most easily recognizable soccer players, his play has slumped this past year and he lost the captain slot of the English team in this past summer's World Cup.

"After discussing several options with my family and my business advisers I have decided to join (the) L.A. Galaxy and play in the MLS (Major League Soccer) from August," Beckham said in a statement released on his behalf.
