American Press: Beckham Will Stay At Milan

The David Beckham transfer saga seems to be nearing an end as he is set to remain in Milan, according to local media sources...

David Beckham joined Milan at the commencement of the year, and despite initially signing for the club for a brief two month loan period, he has recently declared his intention to make his move permanent.

In addition to this, the Rossoneri themselves are also keen to keep hold of the former English captain. Consequently, they have been in deep negotiations with Beckham’s LA Galaxy side over the past few weeks in order to attempt to reach an agreement to seal his transfer.

Now a local media source, the Los Angeles Times, has published a piece in which a leading writer proposes that Beckham is on his way out of California.

As well as stating the well-known fact that Beckham himself is itching to leave, writers Robin Abcarian and Grahame L. Jones assert that the Galaxy hierarchy are reluctant, but willing sellers.

"The Galaxy publicly says it is trying to keep him, but privately it already is resigned to losing him," they wrote.

This is great news for all fans of the Rossoneri ahead of their upcoming UEFA Cup clash against Werder Bremen on Thursday night.

However, Galaxy remain adamant - at least publicly - about the fate of Beckham, stating that there are no plans to breach the earlier loan agreement made with the San Siro outfit.

"David Beckham and Landon Donovan remain in Europe on
loan with AC Milan and Bayern Munich respectively, with both players scheduled to return on March 8, two weeks ahead of the Galaxy’s season opener against D.C. United," said the California club in a press release on Tuesday.
