David Beckham admitted that he was almost ready to sign a contract with and only at the last moment changed his mind, deciding to move to Los Angeles "Galaxy."
The Englishman made the decision to move to the United States in the beginning of this year after negotiations for a new contract with Real Madrid reached a deadlock.
At that time, he had offers from many powerful teams in the old continent, but Beckham himself admitted that the Italian option was the most attractive.
"It was difficult to say no to a club like Milan. There is a great city, president, coach, players. Moreover, Ronaldo also joined this team."
"Making a decision was really not easy. Having received such an opportunity, I felt honored and satisfied, but I had to think about my family. Besides, I was attracted by a different challenge."
"I would have liked to play in the Italian championship. I like this country for many reasons - high-level football, players, best food, wine, fashion..."
Lately, Beckham has been demonstrating excellent athletic form wearing "Real" jerseys and after the break earned a spot on the English national team.
