DOHA - David Beckham has reiterated his desire to move permanently to AC Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 33-year-old midfielder wants to remain with Milan to improve his chances of making England's team for next year's World Cup. He has scored two goals in 11 games for the Italian team, nine of them in the Serie A.
"I want to stay... I know negotiations are on and, hopefully, I can continue to play with Milan," Beckham said from Doha where Milan were set to play a friendly against Al Sadd later yesterday.
"My experience with AC Milan has been incredible. It is one of the biggest clubs in the world, some of the most famous players in the world are at AC Milan."
Beckham has been on loan at Milan for two months with the Major League Soccer club expecting him back next week.
However, Milan chairman Adriano Galliani said on Tuesday a deal allowing David Beckham to extend his stay with his club until the end of the Italian season is close but not yet complete.
