Beckham ponders saying goodbye to Galaxy

"Playing here is every footballer's dream," Beckham told Italian paper Corriere della Sera on Wednesday when asked if he would go back to the United States in March.

"But it's not easy to decide. It's a matter that requires time. I'm under contract with, and have lots of respect for, Galaxy," he added.

"But the possibility to play at Milan is something special. I knew I'd have fun but I didn't expect to have so much fun. Anyway, I am a very respectful person."

"Sometimes it takes weeks or even months to understand how a team plays or trains," he said, adding that he found Milan similar to his former club Manchester United.

"I must admit that everyone has done their bit to make me feel at ease. I've been welcomed really well."

"The U.S. championship is young. I think it will take 10 years more to hit big targets. I must admit that, having played in Europe, sometimes it has been frustrating to take part in certain games."

"I'm happy for Milan and I'm happy for the national team," Capello said.
