For a while it seemed like the Beckham family would stay in Los Angeles for the long term.
But since the arrival of baby Harper and David's tenure at the local football club coming to an end, it seems the fashionable family will be on the move again very soon.
Until recently it was thought that they would either return to their native UK or head to the opulent surroundings of Monaco.
Speculation is mounting about where David and Victoria Beckham will move to next
But it looks like their house hunting could take them further East if reports that David has been offered a contract by a Chinese club are true.
It has been claimed that he is mulling over a contract with Chinese Super League team Shanghai Shenhua.
If he accepted, he would earn £250,000 a week and the chance to boost his income with merchandising deals worth £20 million.
New home: Shanghai has plenty to offer fashion fan Victoria, and a big money deal for David
The England veteran spent six seasons in Major League Soccer at LA Galaxy after earning a heroic reputation at Manchester United and Real Madrid.
A move to the world's second biggest economy would not only be a shrewd move for Beckham's footballing career, but also for the shared interests of him and his wife.
If they set up home in China, he and Victoria would have the opportunity to sell their brands - including perfumes, Becks' H&M underwear range and Victoria's lauded high fashion label - in a nation of nearly one-and-a-half billion people.
A source close to David,37, told the People: 'He has cracked Europe and America, he now has the chance to become huge in China and the Far East. This is a huge decision for him.
'While David wants one final challenge in football, a move to China is about more than that. It will push Brand Beckham to a whole new level.'
The Beckhams and their four adorable children could be moving to China
The move is being managed by Simon Fuller, who has helped the couple cultivate a global brand worth £190 million.
If David did accept the lucrative contract, he'd see some familiar faces in the changing room.
Shanghai Shenhua owner Zhu Jun has already enticed former Chelsea strikers Didier Drogba, 34, and Nicolas Anelka, 33 to China.
With offers from Monaco, China Russia and Brazil on the table, Beckham has some careful decisions to make.
'I'm lucky because at 37 years old, I've been offered some exciting options,' Beckham told Sky Sports News. 'I've got quite a few offers on the table.'
Although the 24-7 shopping culture might entice Victoria, David has previously admitted that their move to LA had a lot to do with making a home for their children - Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo and Harper - so similar rules would apply to a move to the Far East.
