Beckham wants to stay in AC Milan
Because right now, Becks is still on loan to the Italian football giants from the L.A. Galaxy.
And in case you were living under a rock, AC Milan has been enjoying the services of David Beckham this 2009 Italian Serie A season, loaning probably the game’s most marketable star from the Los Angeles Galaxy.
And since David Beckham is finally seeing some ‘’real’’ football action in Italy after making the move to Los Angeles only to appear as a ‘’trophy’’ athlete, he is now admitting that he wants his transfer to the Italian football team a permanent one.
Yup, apparently, Becks has no more intentions whatsoever in returning to the Los Angeles Galaxy and waste even a minute of his aging career playing MLS soccer. After all, playing alongside football icons like Ronaldinho in AC Milan is an opportunity any football athlete should not let pass, especially guys like Beckham who is probably in the late stages of his career.
But since this aspired permanent move to Europe is out of his hands, he knows he’s still a property of the Los Angeles Galaxy until they relinquish him for good to the European football franchise.
‘’I’ve expressed my desire to stay here but at the moment I’m still a Galaxy player,’’ David Beckham said. ‘’I respect the Galaxy and everything they have done for me. They have always been great to me.’’
‘’But I hope they can come to an agreement and it’s down to the clubs now. At this point it’s out of my hands. I’ve said what my feelings are to both clubs. To be given the chance again to play at this level at my age is pretty incredible and I’ve enjoyed it so much I would like to continue it.’’
‘’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.’’
I’m not surprised that David Beckham is heavily lobbying to transfer to AC Milan permanently and leave the L.A. Galaxy. He probably knows that Los Angeles isn’t big enough for two superstars and since Kobe Bryant just dropped 61 points a few days ago, Beckham feels he no longer can outshine THAT superstar at his age.
