Adriano Galliani is delighted with Milan's swoop for David Beckham and Carlo Ancelotti can't wait to work with the England international.

Beckham's season in the MLS with the Los Angeles Galaxy is set to finish at the end of the month and he is looking for a side to train with to stay in shape for international duty.

Milan have seized the opportunity and are ready to take the 33-year-old on loan from January.

“He will stay here at Milan for several months and we are discussing things with his agent,” Galliani explained.

“Beckham has chosen Milan. We are an ultra-competitive squad and David is an intriguing addition.

“We aren't trying to collect big-name figures. Milan are very proud to be the only side that the fans are flocking to see.

“It's no coincidence that 65,000 fans attended Milan-Sampdoria - it shows that the people like the product we have created and Beckham will only add to that.”

Coach Ancelotti was also delighted when he was told that he would be working with Beckham.

“It will be a pleasure to train Beckham,” he said. “He is a hard-working athlete and a professional.

“We will be very happy to have him here for four months and obviously he will be able to play in the League and in Europe.”
