Beckham Turned Down Milan, Reveals Galliani


AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed that David Beckham turned them down before penning his deal with Los Angeles Galaxy.



Inter had been linked with the former England skipper, but Galliani revealed that even Milan had made an approach.


"There was a chance that he would have come to Milan," Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He has now decided to go to Los Angeles, but if he had stayed in Europe, we would have signed him.


"However, he has chosen a different adventure and a different life in America."


Galliani also hinted towards a new approach in the market, with emphasis on youth development as well.


"We will try to be more like Arsenal than Chelsea," he said. "We intend to scout for youngsters and discover fresh talent, like Ronaldinho when at Gremio. He should not be in PSG or Barcelona [as in Milan should snap up such players].


"However, when it comes to that, Italian league suffers economically compared to others, such as that or Spain."
