Football icon David Beckham has revealed he may have to leave Real Madrid after too much intrusion into his private life my Spanish media.

Beckham was always going to be the subject of the press, but this time, it has gone too far.

 

His children were recently targeted by paparazzi photographers and Beckham believes he has to protect his 2 songs from this intrusive interest.

 

Beckham said:

 

“Victoria and I have always accepted that we are in the limelight and people will want to take pictures of us. But when it comes to our children, when they are on their own at their school, nursery or football school, then it is crossing the line and I don't know what to do.

 

"I love playing for Real Madrid. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, even though we have not won anything yet.

 

"I love Spain as a country and the fans have been incredible to me since I moved there. But what I get over there, I have not had probably anywhere else before - apart from once in the United States."

 

"Brooklyn is six and goes to a football school. I was working and Victoria was looking after Cruz, but the paparazzi showed up and harassed him and chased him inside.

 

"This is a little boy and, for me, that is crossing the line. He was scared, of course it affected him. The same with Romeo when he was going into his nursery. People were taking pictures of him playing with the other kids. For me, it's crossing the line with my children.

 

"I love my children and my wife, but I am a professional person and I love my football. If I give in to some of the things that have happened to me in my career, it's giving in to these people.

 

"But I believe that when my children are going to their school, nursery or football schools, they should be left alone and they are not. For me, it's becoming a big problem."
