Losing Beckham for the start of next term, after they failed to buy him outright, will mess up Ancelotti's plans for winning Serie A for the first time since 2004.
"Beckham has given a new push to the team in terms of quality and enthusiasm. He has given the team something extra and certainly it makes it easier to win the scudetto," Ancelotti told reporters.

The return of Gennaro Gattuso in particular could cause problems for the Englishman and Milan.
Tough tackler Gattuso is a Rossoneri talisman and would not take too kindly to being kept out of the side by Beckham once his long-term knee injury heals towards the end of the season.
If he regains his place when Beckham heads off, he will not relinquish it without a fight if the midfielder returns.
It is not obvious to see how the two right footers could play together in Ancelotti's three-man midfield.
