Milan Offer Oddo To Barca & Bayern
According to the Corriere dello Sport, AC Milan are attempting to sell Massimo Oddo, and have offered his services to both Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Oddo has had an inconsistent season for the Rossoneri. He started the campaign very poorly, which led to him losing his place in the Italy national team starting XI.

However his form picked up after Christmas, before he recently picked up an injury that has complicated his end to the season.

During this time out, Daniele Bonera has filled in at right back, and the 26-year-old has been hugely impressive in recent weeks, particularly in last weekend’s Milan derby.

Such has been his form that the Rossoneri are considering allowing Oddo to leave at the end of the season.

The Corriere says that Milan transfer advisor Ernesto Bronzetti met with the Barcelona triumvirate of Joan Laporta, Txiki Beguiristain and Ferran Soriano to talk about the summer transfer of Gianluca Zambrotta.

Bronzetti offered Barca Oddo as part of an exchange deal, but the proposal did not go down to well, with the Blaugrana unwilling to take a player who will turn 32 next month.

Milan have also proposed Oddo to Bayern Munich during negotiations over Willy Sagnol. This deal is said to be more possible, as it is sponsored by Bayern hitman Luca Toni.

Oddo isn't very impressive and about to loose his spot in the Italian national team.

I agree
i just hope Willy realizes Munchen still love him
and he stays and no more right backs!

Bayern Offer Sagnol For Oddo
According to La Repubblica, Bayern Munich have offered AC Milan Willy Sagnol in a straight swap for Massimo Oddo.


French full-back Sagnol had a miserable past season with Bayern, where he lost his first team place and fell out with coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, publicly blasting him in the press on a number of occasions.

Despite the fact that Hitzfeld has now left to be replaced by Jurgen Klinsmann, the 31-year-old’s future with the Bavarian giants is still very uncertain, and it is widely believed that they are keen to offload him.

La Repubblica says that Bayern have offered Sagnol to Milan in a straight swap for another right back Massimo Oddo. The World Cup winner also had a disappointing season, disrupted by bouts of injuries and poor form, which resulted in him missing out on a place in Italy's Euro 2008 squad.

Milan are said to be now considering the offer, however they are also reportedly weighing up a bid for Sampdoria wing back Christian Maggio, and so this could have a big bearing on whether the Sagnol-Oddo deal goes through.

I hope it's not true. If it is, it means that Bayern Munich are desperate just to get an Italian who are under pressure by Toni!

Pirlo would be good and we could finnally have someone that can score directly from a free kick!!!

I really hope there's nothing to this swap story. Bayern would be crazy to exchange an experienced 31 year old French first team international for a less-experienced 31 year old Italian player who hasn't made the Euro 2008 squad.

From what I have seen Oddo is fat
He is supposed to be a RB ?

Is bayern really that desprate for an Italian player??

Last year we were interested in Khalid Boulahrouz and eventually didn't sign him. From watching how well he got in form against Italy and France I'd love to see him at Bayern next season. Jansen is still not goo enough at defense and Sangol is not better at the moment. Boulahrouz is smarter than both and he gave two amazing games in the EURO so far. I wish we could get him this summer to stregthen our defense.

our defense is fine
jansen is a great player and although he is struggling at the Ueros
he has proved has quality to play at bayern and we have lell

It doesn't change the fact that both (Jansen and Lell) have weak defense.
