Oddo still dreaming of MilanLazio defender Massimo Oddo has revealed that he still hopes that his transfer to Milan will be finalised this month.
The world champion has made it clear that he wants a San Siro move, where he started his career in the Rossoneri youth team, but the deal has stalled because of Lazio’s demands.
“I am not 100 per cent serene, but I am a professional and I have always given my all on the pitch,†said Oddo to Sky Italia on Sunday after the 1-1 draw with Siena at the Stadio Olimpico.
“The club knows what my desire is – this is an important opportunity for me, which would allow me to play in the Champions League.
“I am 30-years-old, I cannot ignore this offer and Lazio must remember that my contract expires in a year.
“I don’t want to make any more comments, I am the player and Claudio Lotito the President – I only hope that this situation will end soon,†concluded Oddo.
Coach Delio Rossi confirmed that he is willing to let the player go, but Lotito insists that he needs an adequate offer to convince him to let the captain join the San Siro outfit.
“Lazio have not made anyone for sale, we only said that we were willing to discuss the options which would help the player fulfil his wish,†said the Biancocelesti chief to Sky.
“However, they must convince me and the only way to do so is to make an offer which would allow us to replace Oddo with a player who could increase Lazio’s potential.â€
