David Beckham leads transfer deadline talks as the former England captain is set to join Paris St. Germain Thursday.
The former Manchester United star had been considering offers from clubs around the world after leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy back in December to end a six-year stint in Major League Soccer.
Beckham, 37, will join a roster of international stars accumulated by PSG over the past two years, since Qatari investment company bought majority share in the club in May of 2011.
The team includes Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who leads Ligue 1 with 19 goals), Brazil's Thiago Silva and Lucas, and Argentina's Ezequiel Lavezzi. Those four were bought last summer for a total of $140 million.
Beckham rose to fame during his time with United, where he debuted in 1992 at age 17. He won six Premier League titles, two FA Cup trophies and the 1999 Champions League as part of United's famed treble-winning side.
In 2003, he transferred to Real Madrid for $41 million, but after falling out of favor and failing to win a league title in his first three seasons, Beckham finished well, playing his way back into the starting lineup as Madrid won La Liga in 2007, clinching the title in Beckham's final match.
In 2007 he announced he was heading to Los Angeles with a contract deal worth $250 million. Though the Galaxy failed to make the playoffs in his first two seasons, they eventually reached the MLS Cup in three of his last four seasons, winning titles by beating Houston in both 2011 and 2012.
