Laporta confident of persuading Beckham to move to Barcelona

BARCELONA presidential candidate Joan Laporta is confident he can convince David Beckham to move to the Nou Camp if given the chance to talk to the England captain.

Laporta and Manchester United are understood to have a £30 million deal in place for Beckham should the Catalan lawyer win Sunday’s elections.

Beckham’s representatives, SFX, yesterday moved swiftly to counter a statement from United claiming they would accept an offer from Barcelona if Laporta proves successful.
