London, Feb. 16 : England midfielder David Beckham has told his A C Milan team-mates that he will not be going back to LA Galaxy.

Despite pressure being piled on the 33 year-old star by Galaxy and the bosses of the MLS, Beckham is adamant that his future lies in Italy.

According to The Sun, Milan teammates are impressed by Beckham''s determination to call Galaxy''s bluff - even though it will cost him money.

The Americans demanded that a permanent deal had to be concluded by last Friday. But there was no legal basis for that deadline.

Beckham''s long-term deal with Milan will see him paid less than his Galaxy wages, and less than he was paid by Real Madrid. But he remains committed to the Milan move. (ANI)
