Michael Jackson's Neverland offer to Beckhams

Michael Jackson is reportedly desperate for Victoria and David Beckham to buy his Neverland ranch.

The singer, who left the property 18 months ago after being cleared of child abuse charges, wants the Beckhams to buy the 2,800-acre property for £10 million.

Michael has asked estate agents to show the property details to Victoria, who has been house hunting ahead of David's summer move to the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team.

However, Victoria is said to have no interest in Neverland, because it is in Los Olivos, California, 150 miles away from David's new training ground.

Victoria, 32, is expected to look at around 35 properties in total, all valued between £5 million and £10 million.

She reportedly has her eye on a £7.5 million mansion previously owned by Lionel Richie and is determined to find the perfect home for her family.

Victoria said: "I want to make sure I pick the right one for David and the kids. I've seen some beautiful places, but we want somewhere that looks like a nice home."

The former Spice Girl is planning to spend £50,000 on themed bedrooms for the couple's three sons Brooklyn, seven, Romeo, four, and 23-month-old Cruz.

Victoria has asked a children's boutique to design murals, beds and furniture with a soccer theme.

"The idea is to make you feel like you're in a soccer stadium like Dad. Endorsement deals and screaming fans are sold separately!" said the owner of the boutique.
