Oddo set for Lazio talksSaturday 25 November, 2006Lazio will soon meet Massimo Oddo in an attempt to tie him down to a new contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
Oddo’s present deal expires in 2008, but a UEFA ruling means that he could leave in 2007 for as little as £2m.
Milan would be keen on acquiring him at that price after again failing to land the right-back before the start of this season.
Lazio chief Claudio Lotito values the Italian at £8m and is desperate for the club captain to remain in Rome.
Oddo himself has also openly admitted that he wants to end his career with the Biancocelesti, but agreeing terms may be problematic.
The former Verona player currently earns around £1m a season and would want a similar amount of money to stay on.
But Lotito has now installed a salary cap at the club, thought to be around £400,000 a year, to try and rectify the outfit’s economical issues.
