Unbelivable! Read why David Beckham is selling his N9.6bn mansion

According to a report on the Sun, the couple are selling their mansion because it too small.

Although the 1.25-acre property boasts of nine bathrooms, palm trees and a swimming pool, the couple want a bigger house for their sons to play football.

It was gathered that the couple put the mansion on the market over a year ago for almost double its original price tag, as they paid £14.2million in 2007 for the  huge Italian-style villa.

And it is understood they want to swap it for an even more lavish manor, with a bigger garden for sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz to play football.

A source told the Sun on Sunday, December 4: “Victoria and David have both had concerns over the house for some time – especially about its size.

“The garden is too small for football and the boys have to go round their friend’s houses – usually either Gordon Ramsey or Elton John – to have a kick-about.

“The private driveway is also relatively small. The house has been on the market for a long time and David and Victoria are actively looking for a bigger place.”

Stephen Shapiro, one of America’s top real estate agents, confirmed last night that he had shown potential buyers around the address.

He said: “It has been quietly on the market for a couple of years. It is a beautiful house. I remember there was an asking price of $30million (£24m).”
