    MADRID, May 8 (Xinhua) -- English soccer star David Beckham will move to Beverly Hills, California in July to a mansion he purchased in view of his future soccer career in the United States playing for Los Angeles' Galaxy club, according to news reaching here Tuesday.

    The 31-year-old midfielder currently playing for Spain's Real Madrid soccer club and his wife, former "Spice Girl" Victoria, bought their house in California, Beckham's spokesman Jeff Raymond was quoted as saying by Spanish sports Marca daily.

    Raymond said Beckham and Victoria bought a 0.4-hectare house, although he refused to confirm Los Angeles Times' version saying the couple paid a 22-million-dollar down payment for a 1,200-square-meter house.

    They will move to the house once his contract with Real Madrid concludes in June.

    Beckham started playing for Real Madrid in 2003 and has now signed a five-year contract with Galaxy Club.
