Milan still hopeful over Beckham
David Beckham could find out on Friday whether he has a future at AC Milan, according to the Italian club's chief executive Adriano Galliani.
The 33-year-old wants to stay at Milan beyond his loan period, which ends on 9 March, but parent club LA Galaxy want him to return to the United States.
"There is still a bit of distance but Friday could be the decisive day for Beckham," said Galliani.
"The wish of the player is to stay, we will see how the situation evolves."
A few days earlier, the Los Angeles club revealed that they had rejected a £5m offer from the Italian side, with their valuation believed to be around the £10m mark.
AC Milan representatives will fly to the United States this week for further negotiations.
Beckham has impressed Milan during his two-month loan period, scoring twice and helping the side move up to third in the table.
His performances also led to him being recalled to the England squad for the friendly against Spain last week.
Despite picking up a slight calf strain in Sunday's derby against Inter, Beckham will travel to Werder Bremen on Wednesday for Milan's Uefa Cup tie.
