David Beckham has agreed to move to AC Milan on loan from January
until the end of the season, the Italian club has told BBC Sport.

The England midfielder, 33, plays for Los Angeles Galaxy, whose Major
League Soccer season ends this weekend.

Speaking on Wednesday morning, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani
said: "Beckham has chosen Milan.

"Our squad is ultra-competitive and it will remain this way. But
Beckham is something different and intriguing."

Beckham is eager to stay in England coach Fabio Capello's plans during
the MLS close season.

The midfielder needs two more caps to become England's most-capped
outfield player, taking him past Bobby Moore, who made 108 appearances
for his country.

Italian Capello has made it clear he will only select players who are
active and in form.

Beckham will join a stellar squad at Milan, including

Brazilians Ronaldinho, Kaka and Alexandre Pato, as well as Italian
internationals Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has made it clear he would welcome
Beckham's arrival.

"For me it will be a pleasure. Beckham is a serious athlete, a great
professional," he said.

"If he'll be available for us, we'll be very happy."

Beckham would be eligible to play for Milan both domestically and in
the Uefa Cup.
