David Beckham is expected to play on after this summer's World Cup.
Reports have claimed Beckham is ready to call time on his
entire career, however a source close to Beckham has denied that is
the case.
The former England captain will turn 35 next month, and has
spoken of his desire to continue playing for his country beyond
South Africa 2010.
The reports have suggested Beckham wants to come back to the
United Kingdom and spend more time with wife Victoria and children
Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, having achieved everything he wants to in
the game.
But the source close to Beckham said: "It is nonsense."
Beckham, who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League
Soccer, is currently two games into another short loan period at AC
Milan and is due to face Siena tomorrow.
Already, the midfielder has made such a positive impression
that Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has claimed he would
offer another invitation next year.
The present deal is aimed at giving Beckham the best possible
chance of staying in Fabio Capello's squad, and becoming the first
England player to appear at four World Cups.
Whether he makes it or not, Beckham will then have a short
break from the game before returning to the LA Galaxy, where his
present deal still has two seasons to run.
