David Beckham is going back to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
David will return to the MLS team next month as scheduled after his loan agreement with AC Milan ends despite his wish to stay in Italy.
Tim Leiweke, president of Galaxy parent AEG, said Friday the Italian club didn’t make a second offer to the Galaxy to keep Beckham so the team will adhere to MLS commissioner Don Garber’s Friday deadline to resolve the situation.
“We didn’t receive an offer today,” Leiweke told The Associated Press by phone from Colorado. “We will abide by the commissioner’s wishes, so we are clear at this point that we don’t want to have any further conversations.” The Galaxy did reject Milan’s only, earlier offer.
“They clearly were looking at this as a football decision and we were looking at it as a football and business decision,” he said.
“I’m not sure they ever quite understood the magnitude of the losses the Galaxy and the league would have had to bear this season. They were very respectful discussions. We’re fine. There’s no issues here.”
Beckham’s five-year Galaxy contract is owned by MLS, and he is due in the team’s training camp on March 9.
“I know David is emotionally invested, but I don’t think Milan really was that interested in spending the money we would have had to receive to compensate us for our losses,” Leiweke said.
“We need David to honor the contract and come home and let’s stop the distraction.”
