Galliani: We've signed Beckham
Wednesday 22 October, 2008

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has announced the signature of David Beckham in the New Year.

Recently there were suggestions that Beckham could train with the Rossoneri at the end of the MLS season to keep himself in shape for England duty.

But as the Rossoneri prepared to leave for Holland to face Heerenveen in the UEFA Cup, Galliani announced that Milan will secure Beckham's signature and add the ex-Manchester United midfielder to their squad for the second half of the season.

"Beckham wants to train and play for Milan," Galliani told the Corriere della Sera.

"We want him and he will arrive in January for the rest of the season.

"It's not just a shop window deal - it's a great deal. He will be available to Carlo Ancelotti for Serie A and the UEFA Cup.

"Football today is about full stadiums and sponsors and superstars like Beckham fill them up. With him, Kaka and Ronaldinho, it will be a dream team."


The deal would be a loan agreement and the 33-year-old would then return to Los Angeles Galaxy.

The news still isn't official but it seems that Beckham could wear the Rossoneri shirt at last.
