"David Beckham will reportedly receive a share of the profits from sales of PSG football shirts. The footballer recently signed a five-month deal with Paris Saint-Germain and announced that he would be donating his \u00C2\u00A33 million wages to a local children&amp;#039;s charity.  However, The Sun reports the Beckham will still benefit financially from the deal, with sponsorship experts stating that he will get a cut of each top sold bearing his name and squad number. The shirts retail at \u00C2\u00A396 but cost just \u00C2\u00A33.50 to make. This income would be larger than the wage he has given away and saves him paying taxes of up to 75%, with merchandise profits being subjected to just 30% tax in France. Some have suggested that the move is a media stunt, claiming that the club has hired Beckham for his commercial appeal rather than his footballing talent.  PSG, owned by an investment arm of the Qatari royal family, is said to be in talks for a \u00C2\u00A3110 million five-year sponsorship deal with Emirates following news of Beckham&amp;#039;s signing. It was reported yesterday that Beckham will serve as a player-coach in the Qatar Stars League later this year as part of a \u00C2\u00A320 million role as the face of the 2022 World Cup in the Gulf state.
