Beckham not planning loan despite England ambition

David Beckham says he is not planning another loan in European soccer despite his desire to play for England.

Beckham spent time on loan with AC Milan in the past two years in order to stay fit for international duty during Major League Soccer's offseason. But he says he is focused only on getting in shape for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Milan has already said it will not sign the 35-year-old midfielder a third time following the Achilles' injury that kept him out of this year's World Cup.

In an interview with FIFA.com, Beckham says he has not ruled out a return to Europe but is not actively looking for a club.
