So the yes-men running the MLS gave into Beckham's "star power."
Milan closer to Becks deal
Monday 2 March, 2009
There are reports that Milan and Los Angeles Galaxy have agreed a deal to allow David Beckham to stay at San Siro until the end of the season.
Beckham has prospered on loan in Serie A and is determined to stay with Milan when his loan expires next week.
The two clubs have been discussing a permanent move, but talks seem to have stalled over the fee.
Los Angeles Galaxy allegedly want £10m for Beckham's permanent signature, but Milan will only offer £5m.
However, the latest reports in Italy suggest that an arrangement will be reached that will allow Beckham to stay with Milan until the end of the current campaign.
“The negotiations are progressing,” Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani confirmed on the Milan Channel.
“I'm hoping we will be able to get Beckham to stay here on loan until June 30.
“Then he would be able to return to Los Angeles and come back here in January. It's a complicated deal, but we believe in it.”
An official statement is expected soon and the final decision will be announced on March 7.
