Becks’ number up as Madrid score with 50% of new signing’s image rights

DAVID BECKHAM is set to wear the No 11 jersey at Real Madrid – after it was revealed he has agreed to fall in with the club’s policy on player sponsorship contracts.

Ronaldo currently wears the shirt but looks likely to swap it with number nine as Fernando Morientes appears to have a bleak future at the Bernabeu.

Sporting director Jorge Valdano said: “Beckham will have the number that remains free at the end of the season, just like the other players did.”
