REAL Madrid, David Beckham's Spanish club, badly wants him to stay in Spain and not go to the Los Angeles Galaxy next month as he is due to.
At the moment, Goldenballs has said no.
So, what is a team as prestigious as Real to do without a Beckham?
Well, they could get another.
They could sign Mrs Beckham and hope that the fans would not notice.
Here is a new entry for Ripley's Believe It Or Not or Separated At Birth.
If you notice, Victoria Beckham is looking more and more like her hubby these days.
Soon they could become the same person.
People say that 80 per cent of lookalikes is in the hair, the other 20 is in the make-up while another 100 per cent is in the genes of identical twins.Posh Spice, previously dark-haired, is turning into Plush Spice, the blonde ambition.
This could be due to a few reasons.
One, Los Angeles, her projected new home, is a place of invention.
What better way to invent oneself than with the David Beckham million-dollar blonde look.
Two, LA is a land of party girls, and in Party World, Mrs Beckham, already known for her take-charge manner among the WAGs (wives and girlfriends) of England's national footballers, wants to be the head party-goer.
Again, what better way to be the head than with the Party Girl million-dollar blonde look.
Three - and this is a speculation so high it beats even the high ball pumped into the sky in the English league - Victoria wants to play football.
Physically, she has the look and the bod.
With her midriff, she looks just like David after he has exchanged a shirt with somebody at the end of a match.
Beckham has been praised by his coaches - Fabio Capello at Real and Steve McClaren at England - for keeping trim and fit during his troubled times when both seemed to have discarded him.
Basically, the man, 32, looks like he's 25.
Victoria, 33, looks, as you must be aware of, like she has not eaten for 25 of those years.
Which means she is beanpole thin but still a better athlete impersonator than Peter Crouch, Liverpool's super-beanpole player, who seems more at home with streetlights.
Next to each other, Beckham and Beckham look more clone than bone now.

But the biggest suspicion about why Victoria is turning into David is the Hillary Clinton two-for-one factor.
When you get Hillary, you get Bill.
When you get Tweedledee, you get Tweedledum.
When you get the Beckhams, you get two at the mention of one but for the price of two.
That is the economic policy of Team Beckham.
From their official outings to their cameo appearances to the photos in the magazines to the snap pics in the tabloids, they have morphed, like Mystique the shape-shifter in the X-Men, into one corporate being.
Looking alike, anyone at McDonalds would be able to tell you, means looking unified.
The leader, tough cookie, CEO and CFO - that is Chief Family Officer - is the lady with the short-cropped side-swept businesswoman look.
Some call it formidable; some call it scary; David calls it honey.
Mrs Beckham has morphed into something still glamorous as a blonde and something still intimidating as the boss.
A couple, usually married, transforms into sibling unity after a certain period.
It is the direct consequence of the act of living too close to each other.
That is why you cannot tell one goat from another.
Morphing is where characteristics, habits, appearances, behaviour and going to the same barber for a discount turn people into Identikit versions of one another.
Most times, it happens without folks even noticing it until the woman gets, say, called up for reservist duty and the man feels menopausal.
Sometimes, it is a distinct, conscious act to take possession of property and stake out territory.
Mrs Beckham understands the value of her property.
Not only does she know how to look after it, she even knows how to look like it.
