$250m Becks deal 'not about money'

David Beckham is to leave Real Madrid and move to Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer after agreeing one of the richest deals in sport – but the former England captain insists he is not going for the money.

Beckham will earn an astonishing $250m (€193.9m) from his salary, image rights and associated sponsorship from the five-year deal, which works out just short of $1m (€775,467) a week.
