Rumours began to emerge that EA REALLY wanted Beckham involved, with claims of an eye-watering pay packet of up to £40 million!

Fake News

It was initially believed that David Beckham would earn £40 million in return for his appearance on the EA Sports title, but EA has stated that this is false.

A spokesperson from EA has said: “We’ve seen the reports on the terms of our deal to bring David Beckham back into our EA SPORTS FIFA game. We don't disclose specific details, but we can be definitive that the figures being reported are being completely sensationalized and are in no way accurate.”

This means that any reports that Beckham was offered anywhere near the £40 million figure are not true.
