Soccer star David Beckham will most likely return to the Los Angeles Galaxy for a third season when his three-month loan period with AC Milan ends next month.

David recently told the Italian media that he wanted to stay with Milan, but L.A. Galaxy rejected Milan’s initial $6.4 million offer to buy Beckham out of his contract Friday.

“We did not receive an acceptable offer,” L.A. Galaxy Coach Bruce Arena said Friday. “As a result, David remains an LA Galaxy player and we look forward to having him back with the club starting March 9.”

However, both AC Milan and Beckham himself are hopeful a deal can still be agreed.
