If rumors are to be believed that it is said that David and Victoria Beckham bid to buy part of Milan's famed Castello Sforzesco. However, it seems that they have failed to win this bid on the gorgeous 15th century castle that now houses artworks by Michelangelo and Da Vinci. With talks of David signing a soccer contract there, the rich couple has been hanging out in Milan. It seems that this castle has really caught Victoria's fancy, but the Milan City Council has refused all offers on selling part of it to the Beckhams. Another product of the rumor mill is that Victoria had her heart set on buying an entire floor of the Armani Hotel but in vain. The Beckhams seemed to be interested in doing a lot of high profile shopping.
