Milan - David Beckham is determined to make his loan deal with AC Milan permanent and is even willing to take a drastic cut in wages to ensure a move away from his club LA Galaxy.
The Italian sports daily Gazzetta Dello Sport ran a "Beckham Forever" headline across its front page Friday, claiming the former Manchester United star is loving life in Milan, is learning Italian and doesn't want to return to the United States.
Beckham's loan deal only runs until March and he is believed to be willing to give up his five-year deal with LA Galaxy, which runs until 2011 and is reputedly worth in the region of $200 million, to ensure he retains his place in Fabio Capello's England squad for the 2010 World Cup.

The midfielder has a clause in his contract with LA Galaxy which would allow him to move to Milan in the winter transfer window of 2010 but is reported to believe this to be too late as he would be almost 35.
Beckham impressed by immediately integrating into the team. Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has started Beckham in both of his side's Serie A matches this year where he impressed by immediately integrating into the team.
Beckham also won friends on Thursday when he visited former Milan striker Stefano Borgonovo, who is suffering from the paralyzing illness amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
"David has a golden heart," said Ancelotti. - Sapa
