Desperate to remain on England’s World Cup squad, Los Angeles Galaxy star David Beckham is considering playing with Serie A powerhouse AC Milan during this year’s MLS off-season.
The details of the contract are still somewhat vague, although while being interviewed by the reporters at Milan’s Malpensa airport AC Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani expressed confidence that David Beckham would be playing for his club “for some months on a free loan.”
Galliani continued, saying, “Beckham has chosen Milan. Our squad is ultra-competitive and it will remain this way, but Beckham is something different and intriguing.”
Timing couldn’t be better for Beckham, who is trying to remain a viable candidate to play on the 2010 England World Cup team. Playing for Milan will allow Beckham to maintain his fitness while playing at a much higher level than what Major League Soccer has to offer–almost certainly helping his World Cup prospects.
Beckham will finish his season with the LA Galaxy this Sunday as the team failed to make the playoffs. Due to a Galaxy promotional tour in both Australia and New Zealand, Beckham and Milan will have to wait until the beginning of 2009 to begin their formal engagement.

What can’t David Beckham do? Well, don’t let the title of this article fool you. Although Beckham announced yesterday that he will be launching a series of children’s books next year, he will not be the actual author of the books.
Of course.
Inspired by The David Beckham Academy in London and Los Angeles, the series of books are to be aimed at seven year olds and will contain tips, tactics, and soccer statistics.
“The David Beckham Academy is more than just David’s dream of giving children the chance to experience great football coaching, it exists to encourage all aspects of their learning and development.
“David is particularly pleased that The Academy has inspired a series of books that will bring children to reading through football,” a spokesperson for David Beckham mentioned.
