The former England captain will spend at least the next five months in Paris – but his “huge” wages will benefit a local children charity. ‘Golden Balls’ also has a golden heart…

David Beckham has signed up with PSG for just five months

David Beckham will not receive a salary after signing a contract with Paris St Germain, but will instead see his wages paid to a children’s charity.

“I won’t receive any salary – we have decided my salary will go towards a local children’s charity in Paris and that is one of the things we are very excited and proud to do,” he said.

The sum hasn’t been disclosed and the charity remains anonymous but Beckham said it would be a “huge sum”.
