David Beckham is on a long term contract with LA Galaxy. However, Newcastle may be able to persuade David Beckham to move to Newcastle (it would help his England prospects). Although it would require signficant compenstaion to LA Galaxy, the sales of (Addidas) Newcastle shirts would probably pay for the transfer and make Newcastle a global brand.
If it makes financial sense, it is likely to happen ... there are 'paper' rumours that this is at least being investigated as an option.

Wouldn't the missus have something to say about giving up the Hollywood lifestyle.
