David Beckham confirms Premier League interest prior to signing new LA Galaxy contract - The midfielder admitted he had offers from 'one or two' clubs in England but instead penned a two-year deal with the MLS side.
After being strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, Beckham also insisted his family plans to move to France had not even advanced to the stage of finding a house.
He told Sky Sports News: "I was offered the chance [to move back to the Premier League]. But I'm happy here, so that was my major decision.
"It was fun watching it [media speculation], honestly. Victoria wasn't in Paris to look at houses."
Beckham, who turns 37 in May, dismissed the thought of retirement instead of signing a new deal with LA Galaxy and is targeting his playing career to extend into his 40s.
He continued: "Retirement was never a part of my plans. It had been talked about by other people but it always is when you get to this stage in your career. I've not even started thinking about that yet.
"I feel 37. I felt a lot younger when I was living the trophy. I was talking to Arsene Wenger the other day at the Arsenal game and he said that it's not what you do after 30, it's what you do before 30 which prolongs your career and keeps you in good shape.
