David Beckham has suggested that he may make a shock return to Serie A if he decides to leave LA Galaxy following the end of his contract with the club.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United midfielder's five-year deal with the MLS side expires this month and it is widely believed that he will depart for another stint in Europe, with Paris Saint-German the apparent frontrunners for his signature.
The 36-year-old's last European adventure came at the San Siro where he had two loan spells with AC Milan, making 33 appearances for the club during MLS close-season periods.
"I had a fantastic experience at Milan, one I will never forget," Beckham told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I don't intend to retire and will assess where is best for my family, though I will not return to the Premier League. I have received some offers from Italy, but haven't spoken to [PSG director of sport] Leonardo about my future."
However, the former England captain has not ruled out prolonging his stay in the US after he lifted his first trophy with the Galaxy this week, as they secured the MLS Cup with a 1-0 win over Houston Dynamo on Sunday.
