As a Los Angeles resident one thing I wanted to do this year was go see Beckham in a Galaxy game. I have a feeling that ain't happening.

From CNN: Speaking for the first time on Beckham's wish for a permanent move to Milan, Tim Leiweke -- chief executive of Galaxy owners AEG -- told the newspaper that an offer received by the club had been too low and time was running out to meet the Major League Soccer outfit's valuation.
On Wednesday, Beckham expressed his desire to convert his current short-term loan with Milan into a permanent move and walk out on a five-year contract he signed with the Galaxy in 2007.
"We need to end the distractions, the circus and the zoo," Leiweke told the LA Times. "We just received an offer, but it was rejected."
Leiweke said keeping Beckham was still a viable option if Milan failed to match the Galaxy's asking price, estimated in various reports at between $10 million and $20 million, and if it was in the best interests of the team.
Further: "Clearly, if David's in a position where he wants to finish the season in Milan, and Milan in turn compensates the Galaxy so that we can suffer no damages to our fans or to our team, then we'll take a look at it.
"But we have made it very clear to them that we expect David back here on March 9. They agree and understand we own the contract. They understand the only way we do this is if, when this is all said and done, the Galaxy benefits."
