LA Galaxy still to give green light to possible switch!
David Beckham's possible return to the Premier League would only be on a short-term loan basis, according to a spokesman for the former England captain.
Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Beckham has targeted a return to Europe during the MLS close season as he bids to force his way back into Fabio Capello's international plans. Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed his side are in talks over a possible move for the 35-year-old, and hinted that a permanent deal could follow any initial loan switch. But Beckham's representative revealed that Galaxy are yet to give the green light for their marquee signing to join any other club until March and that the former Manchester Unitedand Real Madrid man remains committed to his contract in America.
"At the moment we are waiting on the decision of LA Galaxy with regards to a loan move," the spokesman said. The loan would be a short one until the start of the MLS season. David would then return and play a full season with the Galaxy. Tottenham are one of many clubs who are interested but as yet we have not got into any detailed conversations as we are waiting on LA Galaxy's decision."
Beckham spent the last two MLS close seasons on loan at Italian giants AC Milan but this time he is thought to prefer a loan move to the Premier League and it is understood Spurs are leading the chase for the star's signature.
Redknapp has been keen to stress the on-field benefits of signing Beckham although the deal would undoubtedly bring in huge revenue off the pitch thanks to the midfielder's worldwide iconic status. Should Beckham's loan move to White Hart Lane go through, he will be hoping to catch the eye of Capello, who has overlooked the former skipper since October 2009 and suggested after the World Cup he was no longer in his plans.
The spokesperson continued: "The loan is part of David's desire to keep fit and make himself available for England again." If Beckham moves to Spurs, he could line up against former employers Milan, with the north London outfit set to play the Italians in the first leg of the last-16 UEFA Champions League tie at the San Siro next month.
