Leonardo ‘not sure' if Beckham will sign for PSG
Paris Saint-Germain's bid to sign David Beckham from the Los Angeles Galaxy may be thwarted by family matters, the French club's sporting director Leonardo said Friday
AP Published in Ahram Online on 30 - 12 - 2011

Leonardo has made no secret of his admiration for the 36-year-old former England captain. He said at a news conference there are other factors that may influence whether Beckham joins when the transfer window opens next week.
“He is in L.A., he has his family over there. We have talked a lot and we are still talking, but I'm not sure it will be done,” Leonardo said while PSG introduced Carlo Ancelotti as its new coach.
Beckham's five-year contract with the Galaxy ended after winning his first MLS Cup last month. He could accept an offer to stay with the Galaxy, and several English clubs also have expressed interest in signing him.
French media reports in recent weeks have hyped Beckham's possible arrival, with talk of an 18-month contract and an estimated monthly salary of $1.05 million.
“We have a very good rapport with David Beckham, but we never said it was a done deal. We have studied it and we are studying it,” Leonardo said. “It's always been a question of personal matters (with Beckham)” rather than contract issues.
