Victoria and David BeckhamDavid Beckham intends to stay at Real Madrid until the end of his career and expects the family to stay in Spain after that.

In an ITV interview to be broadcast tomorrow, he reveals “I want to settle down here, my family’s happy here, I’m happy playing football here.”

“..At the end of my career, I want to be known as a player that’s played at a top level, for the best teams, and they don’t come much better and bigger than Manchester United and Real Madrid.”

His wife Victoria Beckham is happy to stay over there too, despite having misgivings about moving over to Spain in the first place. When asked if they would move back to England after David finishes playing, she replied: “I’m not sure we would now and no one’s more surprised than me about saying this but I don’t want to go back right now.”

“We’ve got our house, we’ve got a nice set of friends and the kids are happy.”
