Milan vice president Adriano Galliani insists David Beckham's chances of extending his loan spell at the club all depend on Los Angeles Galaxy.
The Rossoneri have not hidden the fact that they want to keep the English midfielder for as long as possible. However, they are keen not to let this affect the good relationship they enjoy with the Major League Soccer side.
Galliani is delighted with Beckham's progress and he wants him to stay, but he admits Galaxy will have the final say in the affair, not Milan.
"I am happy for Beckham because we have the proof that we wanted a footballer and nothing else when we became interested in him," Galliani told Il Corriere Dello Sport.
"He is a great player and he has humility too.
"Will he stay? At the moment it cannot happen...unless. It depends on those [Galaxy] who hold the rights to his contract."
Reports in England have suggested Milan were prepared to offer the American side €6 million to keep the Englishman on a permanent basis.
Galliani's words echo coach Carlo Ancelotti's comments after the Genoa match on Wednesday night.
The former Juventus coach revealed it would be down to Beckham and the Galaxy in order to resolve the situation.
