Italian giants AC Milan have confirmed
former England skipper David Beckham will join them on loan from
MLS outfit LA Galaxy on January 7.
The Rossoneri made little secret of their interest in
signing the former Real Madrid midfielder following the conclusion
of the MLS season.
With Beckham on a lucrative contract with the Galaxy, the Los
Angeles club have decided to offset some of that outlay by allowing
Beckham to join AC Milan during the close-season.
Although the exact length of Beckham's stay at the San Siro
remains as yet unknown, the Galaxy have always maintained the
33-year-old will return before the start of the new season.
The news of Beckham's stint in Italy is also a boost for Fabio
Capello as it means the former captain of the side will maintain
his match sharpness ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against
Ukraine on April 1.
