The Galaxy player has hinted several times he is eager to make the loan move to Serie A permanent, but it was reported the main reason he wouldn’t leave LA was because of Victoria’s wishes.

"I am happy because I know he is happy at Milan,” she told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine, which hits the shelves on Wednesday.

"It's great to see that he has already started to score goals in your tournament. I jump for joy whenever David scores a goal.

"I like Milan a lot. I know so many people there, especially in the world of fashion: Dolce and Gabbana, Armani and his staff...

“The city is vibrant, full of energy and passion. You eat well. There are no reasons not to appreciate Milan.

“People wrote I wouldn’t set foot in it because of the pollution, but I never said anything like that.”

The three Beckham boys – Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – have stayed behind in Los Angeles for school while their father’s future is decided.

"The children have stayed in Los Angeles," she said. "At the moment I am there with my parents. I go back and forth between America, London and Milan."

Meanwhile, Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has reiterated the club’s eagerness to keep Beckham past the March 9 deadline.

“There are few chances he’ll stay, but we will do everything we can. If I read the contracts then there is absolutely no possibility, but I also know that contracts can change,” said Galliani.

“Right now we cannot offer anything because LA Galaxy are right. I hope they change their minds and we’ll do everything to achieve that.

“Am I optimistic? My heart says yes, my head says no.”
