Being in Italy is perhaps the one thing he's always wanted. He loves the country (and the city) so much, he'd do anything to extend his stay in Milan. It's no secret that he his personal preferences to stay with the Italian club. In fact, he wants the whole world to know what he's really cooking up. But seriously, nobody can deny his desire to play for his beloved England.

"There's a few reasons for staying with Milan. One is I'm playing with one of the biggest clubs in the world and with some of the best players in the world. I'm passionate about that," Beckham told the BBC.

"Obviously the one everyone talks about is it gives me a chance to play in the 2010 World Cup. I personally have to do everything I can to be involved in that."

"Everyone knows how passionate I am about playing for my country and if this gives me a better chance of being involved in that squad that's great."

The football world is wondering: just how bad does good ol' Becks wants to remain in an AC Milan uniform? Simple: sacrifice some of his hard-earned cash for him to stay and he'll be a happy Englishman. That sure made a lot of buzz all over. AC Milan execs clearly took notice of his interest with the club.

“A lot of players show their affection just with words. David Beckham is one of the very few who has shown it with deeds,” AC Milan chairman Adriano Galliani said Sunday on Italian state television.

“He has made an incredible economic commitment, paying a lot of money from his own pocket,” Galliani added.

Very touching indeed. Getting some love from the club's chairman as well. AC Milan is willing to spend a lot of money just to keep Becks in the team. On the other hand, it won't be easy for them to extend his services. The LA Galaxy are expecting his return to California in July. That means, David Beckham will have to don his Galaxy jersey in MLS but will miss a few games in the league's upcoming season after his loan with Milan expires.

The MLS soccer team are currently trying to close out the deal with the Italian club. Talks between the two teams are still far from over. Simply put, Beckham won't be jumping ship to AC Milan until his contract with the LA Galaxy is done. Sorry Becks, it's time for you to be a man and finish what you started in LA LA Land. Looks like Hollywood will have to do for now. It can't be that bad perhaps. Milan ain't going anywhere, you know. At least, you're still popular in America.
