PSG Wants David Beckham To Stay Another Season

According to Sky Sports, Paris Saint-Germain owner Nasser al-Khelaifi has asked David Beckham to stay for another season. The superstar is only signed through the end of this season, but he hasn’t ruled out the idea of returning to PSG next year.

Beckham has appeared in seven matches for PSG this season, including a 1-1 draw against Barcelona in the Champions League on April 10. Barcelona advanced on away goals after playing to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the quarterfinal match-up.

Beckham has enjoyed his time in Paris and will play out the rest of the season before deciding on his future with PSG.

“I am enjoying this season so far and will enjoy it until the end of the season,” Beckham told Sky Sports in an exclusive interview. “Hopefully we will be successful and then I will make a decision on what I do.”

PSG’s newest midfielder hasn’t forgotten how old he’s getting but that’s not stopping him from having fun.

“But to be honest I am 38 in May and you get a reminder of your age every now and then, but I am still enjoying playing,” Beckham added. “I love playing and until that goes away I hope I can continue.”

Keeping Beckham around could only add a boost to the team’s morale as multiple players have expressed that they would love Beckham to stay. Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that he wants Beckham to come back next season and made it known that everyone at PSG wants him to return.

The decision will be a tough one to make as Beckham’s move to Paris has kept him away from his family though he insists that he’s enjoying himself. He signed a five-month contract with PSG in January and has connected with his new teammates quickly as they inch closer to the Ligue 1 title.

PSG currently holds a nine-point lead over rival Marseille in the standings with a mere six matches left. OGC Nice will travel to Paris and face PSG in their next match on Sunday.

Beckham should suit up for the match as he has a lot of decisions to make in his near future. The next six fixtures for PSG may have a lot to do with his choice to return to the club or not.
