World football legend and global brand himself, David Beckham, will join Paris St. Germain for the remainder of the 2012/13 season after a deal was announced on the final day of the January winter transfer window.

Beckham, 37, has left his mark on a number of clubs around the world, but will join the French powerhouse now after leaving Los Angeles Galaxy in December.

Twitter, understandably, had it's fair share of commentary on the deal—how and why it took place as well as the possible reasons behind his move.

Eurosport were the first to break the news of Beckham's departure, with the English legend set to have a medical at the French club.

Daily Telegraph writer Henry Winter shared just how much a "slap in the face" Beckham's transfer was for Great Britain manager Stuart Pearce.

Stuart Pearce decided Beckham was not good enough for the Olympics. Now Beckham's going to be playing in the Champions League

ESPN posted a photo of Beckham's arrival for his press conference, whilst writer James Dall let us know of all the important details of that conference.

Beckham announced that all of his money earned from his time at PSG will be going to local children's charity in France (per The Telegraph).

Bleacher Report lead writer and editor Will Tidey voiced his take on that decision by the 37-year-old.

Beckham, genuinely one of the good guys. His wealth doesn't take away from the gesture to give his salary to charity. Real class.

— Will Tidey (@willtidey) January 31, 2013

However, ESPN's James Tyler wasn't as laudatory of it.

I applaud Beckham's decision to give #PSG salary to charity. Cynic in me can't avoid notion that it's an FFP move.

— James Tyler (@JamesTylerESPN) January 31, 2013

Or as some note, it's a means to avoiding heavy taxation in France. If it persuaded Depardieu to defect... #Beckham #PSG

The statistics on Beckham's arrival at PSG are certainly mind-boggling—especially regarding his age, as ESPN's Paul Carr points out as well as sports statistics gurus Opta Sports.

When David Beckham made his pro debut on Sept. 23, 1992, new teammate Lucas was 41 days old.

37 - David Beckham is currently the oldest outfield player in Ligue 1 (37 years, 8 months). Wisdom.

Bleacher Report's Tom Sunderland and The Daily Mail's Neil Ashton wrapped up the action perfectly, with their insights into just how valuable Beckham will be for PSG in 2013.

David Beckham has actually won more major trophies in his profesional career (18) than #PSG have in a 42-year history (17). @infostradalive

People wondering how Beckham will cross the English Channel to play for PSG. Apparently he's just going to walk across the water.

Did David Beckham make the right move in choosing PSG?
