Serie A:Beckham to stay at AC Milan

Its finally over. The tug of war between LA Galaxy and AC Milan over David Beckham has finally ended after a deal was reached between the clubs. According to the deal, Beckham will stay in Italy until the summer before heading back to the Galaxy for the remainder of the MLS campaign. Beckham will then rejoin Milan in the autumn. "It allows me to play for AC Milan and the LA Galaxy in the same year, and at the same time to continue my commitment to develop soccer in the United States, which is something I am passionate about", Beckham reportedly said. He also confirmed that his family will remain in LA. This is a huge boost for Beckham as he tries to make it to the 2010 FIFA world cup and playing with Milan is certainly a massive thing for him. Had he gone back to LA Galaxy, he could have said goodbye to his International dreams as the standard of football is nowhere near European Leagues. Had the deal not happened, Becks would have been in America on 9th March. As it stays, we can get to see Beckham in AC Milan colors this season.
