The Beckham family is moving back to Europe - at least for a few months, according to British reports.

David Beckham is close to finalizing a deal to play soccer for AC Milan for two months, beginning in January. "He will be a club player for a few months, and then leave," AC Milan club president, Adriano Galliani told the Daily Mail Wednesday.

Added AC Milan coach, Carlo Ancelotti: "For me, it would be a pleasure to have Beckham here. He is a serious athlete, a great professional. If he were available for months, we would be very happy."

It's unclear if Victoria and sons Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3, would join David the entire time he's abroad. The boys are currently enrolled in school in California.

Beckham would return to L.A. by April 2009, in time for the L.A. Galaxy soccer season kick-off, the paper reports.
