It has always been seen that for whichever club David Beckham represents, he plays a very important role in bringing huge revenues for the club, as it was seen when he played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy too. It is his jersey number along with his name printed on the back that's the most wanted by fans all over the world, when it is sold in the market. The QPR bosses must also be banking on his jersey sales a lot, apart from his football skills on the pitch. His jersey sales count had reached to 300,000 during his initial season with LA Galaxy. Hence, the club is said to have earned huge revenues.
Business wise, he is a commodity, who would be sold very easily in the market due to the brand value that is attached with the 36-year-old player, who plays as a midfielder. No wonder, clubs are very interested to sign the player, as he has the potential to attract sponsors to the club, which would definitely keep the club in a good position. It is no secret, as to why did Beckham’s wife Victoria nickname him “golden balls”.
Neil Warnock, who is the manager for Queens Park Rangers is said to have been interested in signing the player. He has already brought in players such as Joey Barton, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Anton Ferdinand in order to strengthen their squad for the current season. Beckham could be a good addition to the squad as he could help these players with his wide experience on the pitch apart from his off-field benefits that the club would reap from. If David Beckham decides to sign for QPR, it is rest assured that the club would come into the limelight. The media will follow the player regularly, hence it is the club that will attract headlines.
