Real Madrid to fund Beckham deal by selling Figo to Milan

Real Madrid are again being linked with Manchester United star David Beckham.

The Daily Express reported yesterday that Real would fund a £30 million bid for the England captain by selling Luis Figo to AC Milan at the end of the season.

Earlier this week Real president Florentino Perez ruled out a move for Beckham because of his price-tag.

Figo has also commented in recent weeks that he is unlikely to play for another foreign club when his contract runs out at Real.
