Galaxy baffled by Beckham loan proposal

DAVID BECKHAM’S proposed move to AC Milan continued to cause excitement in Italy and bemusement in the United States yesterday.

News of the former England captain’s possible loan switch to the Rossoneri in the January transfer window emerged on Wednesday with Beckham’s current club, the Los Angeles Galaxy, seemingly caught out by talk of their marquee player crossing the Atlantic.

After a day of rebuffing all questions with a terse “no comment”, the Galaxy finally relented and admitted discussions had taken place, although coach and general manager Bruce Arena was quick to question the wisdom of letting the 33-year-old join the San Siro giants.
