David Beckham is spending his own money to remain on loan with AC Milan before he returns to the Los Angeles Galaxy on July 1. The English midfielder will stay through the end of the Italian soccer team’s season, which concludes May 31. He will be available for Eng- land’s two World Cup qualifiers in June before taking a few weeks off and rejoining the Galaxy. But it’s going to cost Beckham to stay overseas. He and AC Milan are jointly paying the Galaxy in a “multimillion-dollar deal” to extend his loan, the Galaxy said in a statement. Financial terms of the arrangement were not disclosed. “The obvious (reason for staying with Milan) is giving me the chance to play in the 2010 World Cup,” Beckham told SNTV.
