The doubts surrounding David Beckham's transfer saga may be over, but he remains the focus os newspapers everywhere.

There is little aggreement over the days' best story with virtually every daily offering a different perspective on the matter.

The Mirror suggest that Sir Alex Ferguson "forced Beckham out" against his wishes.

"Real officials claimed they had no intention of signing Beckham," the paper says,"until the England skipper was told by Ferguson he had no future at the club."

Arch-rival The Sun prefers to concentrate on Beckham's "heartbreak".

"David Beckham was in flood of tears when he realised his Manchester United career was finally over," the paper says, before revealing 'exlusively' that he gets his "softer side" from his mother.

The Star opts for reaction from Real itself and highlights Ronaldo's comment that Beckham could make the club the best in the world.

"His signing is a very important moment in the history of the club," the paper quotes the Brazilian ace as saying.

"If there is one piece of advice I can give Beckham it is this: just enjoy playing football!"

The broadsheets prefer to take a different tack and concentrate on the financial implications of the �25m deal.

The Guardian admits its surprise at Beckham's willingness to hand over 50% of all his private deals to the club, while The Telegraph reports that Real intend to clip the wings of the their new star.

"The nine times European champions have no intention of allowing Beckham's off-field interests to detract from business on the pitch," the paper says.

Elsewhere, The Independent concentrates on the race to replace Beckham.

The odds-on favourites remains Ronaldinho, but not if Barcelona get their way.

"A deal is very close with Ronaldinho," the paper quotes a Barcelona press secretary as suggesting, before adding slyly that such a comment needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Away from the world of Beckham, Lennox Lewis's fight against Vitali Klitschko, Royal Ascot and England's clash against Australia in Melbourne are all given prominence.

But they play merely bit-part roles in the ongoing drama surrounding the England captain, who, according to Real's sporting director, will be treated like a "human being" when he arrives.

Now there's a thought.
