David Beckham is focusing on helping LA Galaxy enjoy a productive end to the MLS season rather than thinking about a return to European club football. The England international knows a similar deal to the one last season that saw him go out on loan to AC Milan is necessary if he is to be considered for the World Cup in South Africa.

"At the moment all I am concentrating on is the MLS," he told Sky Sports News following England's 2-2 draw with Holland on Wednesday.

"When you are back with the England squad, of course you concentrate on that and what game is coming up, but I am going to concentrate on the rest of the MLS season with the Galaxy and then after that finishes, in a few months, I will make plans. But that is news that I already knew.

"I'm 95-99 per cent certain that it will happen. It's important that I concentrate on the season with the Galaxy, and when that's over there will be a decision by myself and the club that I will be going to. But it's important I concentrate over there first."

Despite speculation of a return to the Premier League, the 34-year-old believes Italy remains his most likely destination.

"I'm not sure. You never know," he said on the English links.

"I'm not going to say it will never happen, but I enjoyed my time in Milan and they have expressed that they would like to take me back. AC Milan are one of the best clubs in the world, but I have quite a few months to decide on that."
