Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon was quoted as saying he would try to persuade the England star to stay with the Spanish team in Spain, using an escape clause in Beckham’s Galaxy contract to back out of the deal. (Galaxy President Alexi Lalas said there is no escape clause in Beckham’s contract with the MLS club.) (AP)
