Massimo Oddo is set to leave Lazio despite being contracted until 2008, with Milan his preferred destination.

Reports are claiming that the world champion had a heated argument with President Claudio Lotito after the Coppa Italia match lost against Messina on Sunday.

Oddo has made no secret of his desire to leave the capital and has been courted by Milan since last spring, but Lotito insists that no firm offer has been presented by the Rossoneri.

The 29-year-old, on international duty with the Azzurri at Coverciano, is preferring to not pass comment on his situation.

“I am not going to speak about the summer market until August 31,” he stated. “However, you all know that the best signings are finalised at the end…”

The main obstacle to the defender’s transfer now seems to be an economic one for the San Siro side.

Milan, still trying to sort out a fee with Betis over Ricardo Oliveira, will have to meet Lotito’s £6m asking price.

The Rossoneri, however, are allegedly willing to include 23-year-old winger Pasquale Foggia in the swoop.

Coach Delio Rossi is in desperate need of a replacement for the injured Valon Behrami, who will not be available until November, and has already approved the operation.

Biancocelesti chief Lotito could accept a fee of almost £3m for the right-back if Foggia arrived on loan as part of the deal.

Oddo has also been courted by Liverpool, Monaco and Real Mallorca, whose bids were all rejected, and is liked by Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti given his offensive nature.

Damn...I'm convinced now...Silvio is saving for R10...no other explanation

Not saving up .. Milan is always concidered the favourites wether we play Bayern, Real, Man U, etc ... And to be a favourite when playing these teams means something .. And who was behind all this; Silvio Berlusconi, he took the team from flat out broke to a team that always put out a strong side.

With that said, Berlusconi has the power to convince ANY player to sign for him, not Braida not Galliani, but him and ONLY him. Can you name me any other club that Ronaldinho would go to ? Stay with Barca ?! For what ?! This is the second time they have raised the CL in their history and never had a real chance with the league, (excluding the season that they got the league) .. Barca just made it into the first seed spot in the UEFA ranking .. Which isnt that impressive for a player like Ronaldinho. I personally thought he would go to Real Madrid this summer, but wasn't surprised that Milan would want to haul him in, why not we got as much international cups as Real Madrid; but are, realistically speaked, sporting wise are far better than them ! ..

After all, what is Berlusconi's use anyway if he cant be convincing enough to bring in the BIG boys down to Milanello ?!

Milan can sign Ronaldinho, Buffon, Ronaldo, Oliveira and Sobis, Oddo, Diarra, Drogba, Crespo, Ibrahimovic, Gallas ... ALL in a snap of a finger.

Prove me wrong ? Cuz the history of Berlusconi since 1986 with this club has convinced me that they are up for it. With that said, everything happens for a reason, and Milan better have a damn good one (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


Silvio Berlusconi, and you can mark my words on this, will give the fans something worthwhile to open up the champaine and go all out crazy by the time he's done with the market (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Your optimism is promising, but nothing in the Milan transfer market looks promising now... We are most likely going to get no one. Hopefully next year. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Tsk tsk .. I never thought I'd hear such a thing from you ..

Answer me this, why is Milan a world famous club ?! Why is it the most respected club in Brazil ?! Why haven't a peep come out of Barca laughing off the links between the man himself and Ronaldinho ?! Why wait till the very last day (as happened last season w/ Gila) .. ?!

- All in all, I'm glade you keep yourself nuteral on this issue, that way you stay safe. But to me, I'm just an optimist .. I believe that Milan has enough capacity to lure in a player like Ronaldinho .. We lost Shevchenko; you think Silvio will enjoy a whole season with just Kaka ?! You got another thing comin (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Keep the spirit up .. 1 day and 2 1/2 hrs .. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Oh you think Ronaldinho is coming? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm not laughing at you man, but there is absolutely NO WAY we get Ronaldinho this season. Maybe next season.
