David Beckham will leave Real Madrid in the summer, according to the club's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic.
"Beckham will leave us, we will not renew his contract with the club," he told Sky Italia television.
The 31-year-old, whose current deal expires in June, has been linked with a host of clubs from England, Italy, Spain, France and the United States.
Beckham has started just nine times for the Primera Liga side this season under coach Fabio Capello.
The player's spokesman Simon Oliveira said he was surprised by the news after telling this website last week that a new two-year deal had been put on the table.
Oliveira said: "Nobody has said anything to us. As far as we're concerned, the offer is still there and a meeting is due this week."
Beckham is one of six senior players to have been left out of Real's Copa del Rey game with Real Betis on Thursday.
The other 'Galactico' to have been omitted from the 18-man squad is striker Ronaldo, who was also tipped to leave the Bernabeu along with the former England captain by Spanish newspaper AS on Tuesday.
It'd be nice to see him back at Old Trafford... but I reckon destination USA is on the cards.

What? We wouldn't have to pay him much due to all his sponsorship deals.
He could live on minimum wage.

In my opinion, he'd only go to one or two clubs. LA Galaxy (or whatever), due to the close proximity to where he wants his post football career to head to or maybe Internazionale. I've heard Figo has spoken highly of him to Inter's management as a replacement for him (he's off to the middle east at the end of the season) and money is off little issue to Inter, even when it comes to players that would not necessarily be able to fulfil 90 hard minutes every single week.
Becks (as a brand) will not want to go to any club in Europe that is not a real major player, he's not a guy that's going to wind down his career by trying to spark a so called "sleeping giant"...sorry Mikkster!

His minimum wage is probably 50k a week, lol.
He's always wanted to go to America it seems, and now he'll get his wish. Can't fault the bloke though. He's done everything he's wanted to do (well exept play for England again) and has had a hugley successfull career out of it. It might get a few of us following MLS too.
That is breaking news. Seems he got his wish. Let's face it, he's not so much a star player anymore, he's just a star name. Should do wonders for the game in the States though.

David Beckham will leave Real Madrid and join Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy at the end of the season.
The 31-year-old former England captain will sign a five-year deal, reportedly worth £128m.
Beckham said: "This week Real asked me to make a decision regarding their offer to extend my contract.
"After considering several options to stay in Madrid or join other major British and European teams, I have decided to join LA Galaxy."
In a statement, Beckham continued: "I would like to thank the supporters and people of Madrid who have made my family and I feel so welcome in my time here, making this an extremely difficult decision to make.
"I have enjoyed my time in Spain enormously and I am extremely grateful to the club for giving me the opportunity to play for such a great team and their amazing fans.
"I am proud to have played for two of the biggest clubs in football and I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world's most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own.
"For the rest of this season I will continue to give 100% to my coach, team-mates and fans as I believe manager Fabio Capello will bring this club and its supporters the success they truly deserve."
Real Madrid confirmed Beckham's departure in a statement, saying: "Both parties have agreed that Beckham will not extend his current contract, which ends on 30 June 2007."
Beckham left Manchester United in July 2003 to sign for Real, who paid £25m for the midfielder's services.
However, in the three-and-a-half seasons since his arrival, the Spanish giants have failed to win any major trophies.
This season has proved particularly disappointing for Beckham, who was dropped by England coach Steve McClaren and then fell out of favour with Real boss Capello.
BBC Sport website reveals LA Galaxy would like to sign David Beckham
How the BBC Sport website broke the news in November
LA Galaxy admitted their interest in signing Beckham in November, when general manager Alexi Lalas told the BBC Sport website of his admiration for the former England captain.
In an exclusive interview, Lalas said: "The Los Angeles Galaxy are looked upon as the jewel of Major League Soccer.
"We play in the best stadium we have had incredible success over the history of the league, we have had great individual players and great teams. There's a tradition of excellence.
"All of this leads to this race to become the first MLS super club, if you will.
"It is something we aspire to and in order to do that you have to have quality players, a direction and a passion, a good coach and you have to get credibility domestically and internationally.
"Signing players of Beckham's stature would be a wonderful step in the right direction not just for the Galaxy but for soccer in America."
Landon Donovan, Galaxy's star player, said Beckham's arrival would be a huge boost to MLS.
"I think it's hard to quantify what David Beckham being here would mean," he said.
"Marketing-wise it's a dream come true and it's not a 35, 36-year-old washed-up guy.
"It's a guy who can still play and a guy who still has a lot of appeal, probably the most famous soccer player in the world."
