Beckham is under contract to the Galaxy and he loves it in LA, says Los Angeles Galaxy boss Tim Leiweke

Beckham will return to LA: Galaxy boss


The 33-year-old Beckham is currently on a three-month loan to AC Milan from the Galaxy. The stint expires in March but AC Milan is interested in keeping him. "We have a contract, we have a handshake, his kids go to school here, end of story. There is no story. He is going to return to the Galaxy," Leiweke said.


"This is a world class impact player and its still a very good move for soccer here," Leiweke said. "And he is proving me right if you watch the goal he scored for Milan the other day."


Leiweke says you can't measure Beckham's success solely by what the team does on the field. You have to take into consideration what he does as an ambassador for the league. "I look at attendance, teams coming into the league, TV ratings," Leiweke said. "We wouldn't do any of that without David. We will not succeed here with Beckham until we win on the pitch, but we are going to be in a position to do that this season."
