AC Milan boss keen on Becks return as chase for England star hots up

AC Milan coach Leonardo would welcome David Beckham back at the San Siro. The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder impressed during a six-month loan spell with the Rossoneri last season and speculation is rife that he will return to Milan in January. Beckham went to visit his former team-mates at their LA training ground ahead of a pre-season friendly between the Galaxy and Milan. And Leonardo admits there is a very real possibility the England international will be back at the San Siro soon. 'David had and has a good rapport with all of us,' the Milan boss told the club's official website. 'He helped us so much when he wore our shirt. Moreover, he is a good person and also the very fact that he came here to see us proves how much he feels for us. 'It was a really nice gesture,' he said. Sportsmail understands both Tottenham and Chelsea are keen to offer the former Manchester United star a Premier League escape route from the MLS but the Brazilian believes he can still play a part in Serie A for the Rossoneri. He added: 'David is without doubt a very intelligent player and I don't think there is anything strange to say that he could come back into my plans, because he can fit into any system.'
