Former England captain David Beckham will not be offered a new contract with Real Madrid and will leave the club, media reported on Wednesday.
"Beckham will leave us. We will not renew his contract," the club's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic was quoted as saying on Sky Italia TV.
But Real Madrid's director of communications Gaspar Rosety told Reuters: "Predrag Mijatovic has not spoken to Sky Italia and has made no such comments about Beckham's contract."
Real have been offering the 31-year-old midfielder a two-year extension to his current deal, which ends in June, but said they wanted Beckham to make a quick decision on his future so they can plan for next season.
As of Jan.1, Beckham has been free to talk to other clubs with teams in England, Italy and the United States interested in signing him.
