Madrid: Real Madrid are close to extending David Beckham’s contract beyond the end of the season, club president Ramon Calderon said. “We have spoken with his agent and we are agreed that we should extend his contract,” the Real supremo told a Spanish sports daily on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo won’t be leaving for AC Milan or his former club Inter. “Yesterday I spoke to Ronaldo for a while... I don’t see any possibility of Ronaldo joining Milan or Inter,” coach Fabio Capello said.
