Beckham: Milan option
AC Milan have confirmed David Beckham would be welcome to train with the club after revealing they tried to sign the midfielder last year.
Beckham is currently on the books of LA Galaxy, who he joined from Real Madrid in the summer of 2007, but the Major League Soccer season is coming to an end.
The 33-year-old is tipped to return to Europe over the winter to train with a club in order to maintain his fitness for the England team.
He trained with Arsenal during the last MLS off-season and and reports in Italy have linked him with a spell at the San Siro.
Milan’s vice-president Adriano Galliani admits the Italian giants did make an attempt to sign the former Manchester United ace at the time he moved to America.
No problems
“I have not heard from Beckham since the night before he was transferred to Galaxy,” Galliani told a press conference.
“He was close to joining Milan before going to California, but I know nothing about the rumours going around.
“But if Beckham’s wish is to train with Milan, I would have to ask coach Carlo Ancelotti, but there would be no problems for the club.”
Rossoneri coach Ancelotti concedes he would not have any issues with Beckham training with his squad during the winter months.
Ancelotti said: “If Beckham would like to train with us, there wouldn’t be a problem for me.
“I confirm that during a summer there was a negotiation to make him become a Milan player, but it did not go through.”
