The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers, with clickable links to the Web.
L.A. Extension
David Beckham will probably reject an 18-month contract with Paris Saint-Germain worth 4 million pounds ($6.2 million) after deciding to stay in Los Angeles, the Sun said.
The Los Angeles Galaxy offered the former England captain a one-year extension to his contract, which ends in December, the newspaper said. Beckham, who wants to make sure his children have a stable upbringing, will make a decision after the Major League Soccer playoffs, the Sun said.
Beckham has also attracted interest from Leicester City, Queens Park Rangers, and teams in Brazil and the Middle East, the newspaper said.
Carragher Plans
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said he may retire in the next two years, the Daily Mail said.
The 33-year-old vice-captain has played for Liverpool for 14 years, the newspaper said. He said his future will be decided by team coach Kenny Dalglish, the newspaper said.
Arteta’s Transfer
Mikel Arteta said there wasn’t time for a medical exam before moving to Arsenal from Everton on transfer deadline day and he agreed to assume liability if he had a health issue, the Daily Mirror said.
Arsenal paid 10 million pounds for the Spaniard who needed 12 months to recover from a knee ligament injury suffered in February 2009, the Mirror said.
Anelka for Russia?
Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka is being pursued by Russian team Terek Grozny, the Daily Mail said.
The 32-year-old’s contract ends at the end of the season and he’s been linked to moves to Turkey and Major League Soccer, the newspaper said.
