Beckham likely to go to Europe in January

CARSON, Calif., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Los Angeles midfielder David Beckham indicated he plans to play in Europe, but said he won't go before he finishes the season with the Galaxy.

"I'm 95-99 percent certain that it will happen. It's important that I concentrate on the season with the Galaxy, and when that's over there will be a decision by myself and the club that I will be going to," Beckham said.

Beckham, 34, indicated he will go to Europe in January. He was told by England's coach, Fabio Capello, he needs to play in European competition in preparation for the World Cup next year.

"At the moment, all I am concentrating on is the MLS," Beckham told Sky Sports News. "When you are back with the England squad, of course you concentrate on that and what game is coming up.

"But I am going to concentrate on the rest of the MLS season with the Galaxy and then after that finishes, in a few months, I will make plans."
