DAVID BECKHAM will bag £12.5million by following Carlo Ancelotti into Paris St Germain.
The former England captain, 36, is on the verge of signing a £160,000-a- week deal for 18 months.
While former Chelsea boss Ancelotti put pen to paper after French league leaders PSG ditched Antoine Kombouare yesterday.
The Italian is expected to pick up £110,000 a week over 2½ years — a total of £14.3m — making him the highest paid boss in French football.
Both men's bumper pay packets will be paid by the Qatar Investment Authority who run PSG.
Ancelotti, 52, has been waiting for another top job in England after being axed by Chelsea in May.
He will forego five months' cash from the Blues to move to Paris.
Becks, whose five-year deal with LA Galaxy ends on Saturday, could be one of a number of signings.
Chelsea forward Florent Malouda and Real Madrid's Kaka are other targets.
Beckham's mega money has outraged French left-wing politicians.
The opposition Socialist Party have proposed a law that would put in place a maximum salary.
