Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena claims David Beckham will return to the club in the beginning of March.
AC Milan was given until Friday night to agree a deal to sign Beckham on a permanent deal.
But as a deal were not agreed the 33-year-old will now return to Major League Soccer when the loan expires next month.
Arena said: “Today’s deadline imposed by Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber regarding a resolution of David Beckham’s potential transfer to AC Milan has ed and we did not receive an acceptable offer for the player.
“As a result, David remains an LA Galaxy player and we look forward to having him back with the club starting 9th March”
Chief executive of Galaxy owners AEG, Tim Leiweke, added in the Los Angeles Times: “He will be back here on March 9, and we don’t want to entertain any more conversations now.
“It is a distraction to (Galaxy coach) Bruce Arena, the team and the fans, and we move on. That’s the last we’re going to talk about this.”
