David Beckham has agreed to move to AC Milan on loan in January.
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. He'll stay here in Milan on loan for a few months.
"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

I find it so strange he is on loan - like a library book.

Maybe his international career will be resurrected from this, it'll be interesting to see how he copes at the top level again, if he gets a game regularly.

I saw David Beckham play for LA galaxy against Columbus Crew. Beckham was not impressive at all during this game, he just did few corner kicks and ran around chasing the ball that was all he did.I think LA galaxy would be better off without him. Go Crew!!!!!!!!
