Beckham vs. Beckham

Jan. 27 2009, Published 4:45 a.m. ET

Soccer great David Beckham -- who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer -- has been playing with Associazione Calcio Milan while his team begins their pre-season. Now, word from Italy is that AC owners want him to stay...and he's willing to consider it.

Two snags.

First, Beckham has a contract with LA. So, okay. Maybe his attorneys could get him out of that.

Not so the second. His wife Victoria reportedly wants to stay in Los Angeles -- or at least in an English-speaking country, for the sake of their kids, 9 year-old Brooklyn, 6 year-old Romeo and 3 year-old Cruz.
