Yoann Gourcuff To Barcelona Could Mean David Beckham To Milan – Report


The Rossoneri have drawn up a plan to help ensure Beckham stays at the San Siro...

Milan and David Beckham want to extend their marriage and the Italian club could raise the cash needed by selling Yoann Gourcuff to Barcelona.

Sportmediaset claims it will cost between €15 million and €20m to keep the Englishman at San Siro on a permanent basis. Reports have suggested ‘Becks’ has no choice but to go back to the Los Angeles Galaxy. However, Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said he would do whatever it takes to keep the former England captain at the San Siro and it seems that he is intent on keeping his word.

According to reports, Barcelona are making enquiries over Rossoneri-owned Gourcuff, who is currently on loan at Bordeaux. Il Diavolo value the French midfielder at €15m, which should be enough to sign Becks from LA Galaxy permanently.

The Spanish giants are keen on Gourcuff, and their relationship with Milan is excellent after the Ronaldinho business last year. The Italians would have made one giant step towards keeping Becks if they sell the French youngster.

All that would be left to do would be to convince the Americans. That task will not be easy, but the cash involved would help twist Bruce Arena's arm. Milan are ready to offer Galaxy €6m as soon as next week.

The rest of the cash would be used to offer the player a two year deal worth €4m per season. The Englishman will also retain all his image and advertising rights.
