DAVID BECKHAM and his former SPICE GIRL wife VICTORIA are set for a bumper US$16 million payday if his planned move to Italy goes ahead - they will make a film of their new life.

The soccer player is lining up a move from Los Angeles to Europe to play on loan for AC Milan football club in January.

And if the transfer goes ahead, the celebrity couple will be offered the chance to make a documentary about their showbiz lifestyle.

Italian prime minister SILVIO BERLUSCONI, who owns AC Milan, is said to be planning to offer the Beckhams US$16 million for the film.

Pop star Victoria made a similar documentary, entitled Victoria Beckham:

Coming to America, covering their move to America when Beckham signed for LA Galaxy in July 2007.

A source says: "It will be similar in format to the US documentary last year, but this time the budget is absolutely huge. It will be a really polished, professional production.

"With Silvio 100 per cent behind the project, as part of his vision to expand the AC Milan brand, it really will be no holds barred."
