Beckham celebrating his penalty against Argentina

The craziest transfer story coming out of Argentina at the moment is the news that David Beckham will be coming out of retirement to join River Plate.

As River continue their pre-season training it has been reported that Beckham has been offered to River on a 6 month contract to participate in the forthcoming Torneo Final.

The story appears to come from Sports Businessman, Guillermo Tofoni but before anyone gets excited at the prospect of the former England captain moving to Argentina there seems to be no other substance to this.

As always the transfer window throws up the most fanciful stories and Beckham coming out of retirement to play for River surely can be filed in that category.
