Beckham may go on loan to AC Milan

The England midfielder is under contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS, but their regular season finishes on Sunday. Galliani indicated at the weekend that Beckham would be invited to train with the club, however, it now seems he could sign a short-term deal.

Was listening to an L.A. Galaxy fan talking to Nicky Cambell, Radio 5, this morning, and he is unimpressed with Beckham's performance for his team.  He said he seems to walk through the match and doesn't have any enthusiasm - in contrast to the performances for the England team.  He also said Beckham had only scored five goals since joining the club.

I am not certain of this but he also said Beckham received $250,000 a month.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he may hijack AC Milan's move for David Beckham.

With the AC Milan deal yet to be completed, Redknapp, whose side face Milan in the UEFA Cup next month, has backed the Italian club's decision to move for the veteran - and said he had considered an approach himself

"I haven't made an enquiry but it has crossed my mind. Maybe I'll try tomorrow if it doesn't happen with Milan. David is still a great player, and you can't tell me he wouldn't be a great benefit to our Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe with his crossing.

"The fact is he is still a top player and wants to play. And I'm sure we wouldn't be the only ones interested if he didn't go to Milan. They would be queueing up."

The Italian giants yesterday revealed the former England captain is set to join them in January for up to three months, during the Los Angeles Galaxy's close season.

With the MLS finishing on Sunday for those sides not through to the end-of-season play-offs - which include the Galaxy - Beckham appears to have opted for the San Siro in an attempt to keep his England career from stalling.

Beckham should retain his place in the England squad for the planned friendly against Spain in February as a result of the move - head coach Capello had warned he would be left out if he was not playing club football.

The 33-year-old's agent, Simon Oliveira, said: "Nothing is confirmed yet, but the intention is to go to AC Milan on loan for January and February.

"He would be going there with the view to keeping fit and being available for selection for England.

"The idea is he then goes back to the Galaxy to join up with their pre-season in March. He will not be joining AC Milan permanently. He had a five-year contract with the Galaxy and has three years left and every intention of fulfilling that."
