Real Madrid president Fernando Martin has given the green light for midfielder David Beckham to be handed a new contract.

Beckham will be handed a new, two-year contract extension, keeping him at Real until 2009. It's been revealed the former Manchester United star's presence at Real is worth a staggering £15 million-a-year in merchandise and sponsorship to the Spanish giants.
