Beckham Agent In Talks With Milan Over Loan - CEO

We will keep him for some months and then he will leave. Beckham has chosen Milan.

David Beckham's agent is in talks with AC Milan over a loan deal for the Los Angeles Galaxy and England midfielder, Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani said on Wednesday.

"Will he arrive? I believe so, yes. He will stay here at Milan on loan for some months, we are talking about it with his agent," Galliani told Milan's official website (www.acmilan.com).

"We will keep him for some months and then he will leave. Beckham has chosen Milan. Our squad is ultra-competitive and it will stay like that but Beckham is something different and intriguing."

Media reports said Beckham would join in January during the U.S. Major League Soccer close season in a bid to stay in England coach Fabio Capello's plans ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

During the last MLS close season, Beckham trained at Arsenal but was not allowed to play for the English Premier League club.

Rumours of Beckham at least training with Milan have increased in the last week. Coach Carlo Ancelotti was excited by the idea.

"For me it will be a pleasure. Beckham is a serious athlete, a great professional," he told Milan's website.

"If he will be available for four months with us, we will be very happy. If he becomes available for Milan it will obviously be both in Italy (Serie A) and in Europe (UEFA Cup)."

Galaxy play their final fixture on Sunday against Dallas.
