Milan refute Beckham claim

The England midfielder's short-term loan spell comes to an end on March 9, and the Rossoneri have been attempting to hold on to the 33-year-old as they go for a top-four finish to secure Champions League football for the 2009-10 campaign.

"I have read that everything is resolved but that is not the case," said Milan vice president Adriano Galliani on the clubs official website.

"The deal is not resolved.

"We are in fact working on the possibility that he remains on loan until June 30 but no agreement has been reached."

Beckham has made nine Serie A starts for Milan and struck twice since his arrival at the San Siro.

"From the beginning he (Beckham) was set to train with us for two months and I didnt think about playing him," said Ancelotti.

"Then, I saw how he trained and I had no choice.

"We tried to get him four years earlier and two years ago but the negotiations faded away.

"I can say he is a great player but not a formidable one, although he has won me over with his performances and his character."

The former Manchester United star has expressed his wish to remain at Milan until the end of the campaign.
