AC Milan have confirmed they are trying to sign David Beckham on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy.

The former England captain is determined to keep his place in the national team and a spell on loan in Europe during the Major League Soccer close season could be beneficial.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani today stated his confidence that Beckham will arrive at the San Siro, however it is understood the 33-year-old has not yet committed to the deal.

The regular MLS season finishes this weekend and both Los Angeles Galaxy and Darren Huckerby's San Jose Earthquakes have failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The former Norwich City player will be returning to Carrow Road in November as a spectator after snapping up season tickets for him and his family.
