Germain.
The former England captain, a free agent since leaving
LA Galaxy in December, joins the Ligue 1 leaders on a
five-month contract.
Beckham considered offers from around the world but
has opted for a club in the knockout stages of the
Champions League, backed by wealthy Qatari owners
and led by Carlo Ancelotti, who was manager at Milan
during his first loan spell there.
Addressing the press at his official unveiling Beckham,
who will donate his wages to a Paris children's charity,
said: "I'm excited. it's something we've been talking
about for quite a while and it's finally happened.
"I'm very lucky. I'm 37 years old and I had more offers
now than I've had in my career. I chose Paris because I
can see what the club are trying to do.
"It's an exciting city, but now there's a club that's
going to have a lot of success over the next 10, 15, 20
years. To be part of something that's growing is
something that's very exciting to me."
Beckham confirmed he had offers from England but
said: "Unless it was Manchester United I wouldn't want
to play for a Premier League team."
And on the prospect of a reunion with Ancelotti he said:
"Carlo's one of the best managers I've worked with."
