AC Milan are close to getting the extension of David Beckham's loan from Los Angeles Galaxy, who will have him back at the end of the Serie A season, Italian media reported.

The 33-year-old English veteran was due back to the US club March 9 at the end of an 11-week loan.

His perfect fitting into the Devils' schemes, however, convinced Milan to ask Galaxy for an extension of the loan that the California club appears to have accepted.

Under the agreement, Beckham will play with Milan until late May and be back in Los Angeles July 17 to play the second part of the Major League Soccer (MLS), which ends in November.
