Midfielder eyes permanent deal
David Beckham has told
Sky Sports News that he wants to join AC Milan on a permanent basis.
The England midfielder moved to the San Siro on loan in January but he is due to return to Los Angeles Galaxy on 9th March.
Milan have made it clear they want to keep Beckham and the player's lawyers were thought to be in talks with Galaxy about a possible extension.
Beckham had previously only hinted that he would be open to staying in Italy if all parties could agree on a deal.
But the 33-year-old has now confirmed he wants to secure a permanent switch to the Rossoneri.
Speaking after Milan's 2-2 draw with rangers at Ibrox, Beckham said: "At the moment my lawyers are not talking to the Galaxy but I have expressed my desire to stay at AC Milan now and it's just down to Milan and Galaxy to come to an agreement.
"I have enjoyed my time here. I knew I would enjoy it but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have and do as well as I have."
Beckham has netted two goals for Milan already and produced a number of eye-catching performances.
