David Beckham might be ready to make a sensational u-turn on his retirement plans as he has been outlined to play in the newly formed Indian Premier League for football.
A season of the Indian Premier League will last for nearly two months and the organisers are aiming to attract all the retired superstars of the game.
Beckham’s English counterpart Michael Owen is also being lined up by the investors for the new league.
‘We are in the final stages of talks with the agents of Michael Owen and David Beckham so that they can play for two months in the new franchise-based tournament,’ an AIFF source claimed.
‘We are also pursuing former Spanish captain Raul Gonzalez.
‘Both Beckham and Owen are very excited about the idea of playing in India.’ he added.
The new league will incorporate eight franchises with 25 players each and the tournament is scheduled to take place between January 14 and March 13 next year, most likely.
