  DAVID BECKHAM is to be given a blockbuster new contract to end his career with Real Madrid.
  
  New Real president Ramon Calderon and boss Fabio Capello are set to offer the former England skipper a three-year deal.
  
  And Becks, 31, will pocket a far bigger slice of his image rights — taking his earnings to a staggering £25MILLION a year.
  
  The midfield starÂ’s international career could be over after he resigned as skipper in tears after EnglandÂ’s defeat by Portugal.
  
  But he will continue in a leading role under Capello, who has taken charge after quitting Juventus.
  
  And Calderon has made tying down Beckham until 2009 a priority before the new season.
