LA Galaxy chief executive Tim Leiweke wants David Beckham to finalise his loan deal before the club enters the MLS play-offs. Beckham is almost certain to return to Europe but Leiweke wants the deal done so it does not interfere with the Galaxy's pursuit of the MLS Cup.

"We want to get it done, for him and for us and I don't want any confusion," Leiweke said.

"It's the same with Landon (Donovan), there is a lot of rumors of whether he is staying or going. We're going to clear that up in the next two weeks because we want the team to be focused."

It is believed Beckham is keen on a return to AC Milan where he enjoyed a successful stint last season and Leiweke says he is happy to let the 34-year old pursue his dream of being selected for Fabio Capello's England World Cup squad.

"I talk to David a lot and this year a lot more because I wanted to make sure he didn't get down and that it would work out," Leiweke added.

"We have a deep appreciation of what he is doing over here with his national team. I wanted him to know that we will support him so we are going to lend him out.

"We're honored to have a player of his magnitude playing at the World Cup. We're going to have four or five of them from the Galaxy at the World Cup and that is real progress for the league and team."
