I was on vacation and Peter Kenyon called me and told me: We accepted the offer from Barcelona and wanted to sell you. Of course, I said: If you want to sell me, then I just want to go to Real Madrid, because my dream since I was a child was to play for Real Madrid. I have always regarded Real Madrid as an incredible team, and that was my dream. I never thought I would leave Manchester United, but if I really wanted to leave, I hope to join Real Madrid. When I heard that I was sold to Barcelona, ​​I said that if they really wanted me to leave, the only club I wanted to go is It was Real Madrid. "After

, Beckham also recalled the changes in his life when he transferred to Real Madrid. Beckham said: "Your whole life can change drastically in just a few days, which is amazing. Victoria and a kid were on vacation at the time. I was still a Manchester United player when I left, and less than a day and a half after I came back, I had signed with Real Madrid and was ready to move. I signed my first contract at the age of 12, moved there at the age of 15, stayed until 27...I didn't have time to prepare. To be honest, it was difficult for me. I didn't watch Manchester United again for three years after I left, which was too painful, but I was happy about where I was."
