Published Sunday, Oct 1 2006, 12:15 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
David and Victoria Beckham are considering launching careers in the US.
The couple have spoke to friends about their plans to buy a £2 million jet so that they can make regular trips to and from the States when necessary. While David is in talks with billionaire Philip Anschutz to join the New York Red Bulls, Victoria is expected to launch a fashion series on US television.
A source told The People: "They have set their sights on becoming American idols. Both are determined to make their dreams come true over in the States.
"David gets on amazingly well with Anschutz. There is a real mutual respect. David has made no secret of his love for America and is keen to become the face of soccer over there once his time with Real Madrid is over."
A spokesman for the couple said: "There has always been interest in David from the States but there is no firm offer at the moment."
