The Beckhams To Buy Clooney's Italian Villa?

wenn796372gc.jpg

The locals will be sad to see him go, but that's another superstar couple we wouldn't mind being neighbors with!

George Clooney is selling his Lake Como villa in Laglio, Italy after being sick of photographers hanging around to catch a glimpse of him, but it appears David and Victoria Beckham are interested in buying!

The Beckhams spent some time there last year when David played for Milan AC and he has said of the villa, "'I have fallen in love with the beautiful countryside. It's peaceful, quiet and near Milan. It would be great for the family."

But Russian vodka billionaire Tariko Roustam is rumored to have offered George over $40 million for the property, which is way more than the asking price. Even so, supposedly the Beckhams are still prime to buy as George is friendly with the couple.

As for Clooney's next move? He's reportedly in talks to buy Loreto Island, Pisogne town near Como after a visit with girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis.

Just another day in the life of George Clooney!

Update: Clooney has just denied any plans to sell or buy. Says the hottie via his PR team: "To complete the news cycle… I'm not buying an island and am not selling my house in Italy… the story was made up… then picked up… and now denied… end of another riveting day of false news".
