AC Milan defender Massimo Oddo has joined Bayern Munich on a season-long loan.

The 32-year-old Italian had reportedly attracted interest from Ligue 1 side Lyon, but has opted to join Bayern.

Oddo, who rejoined Milan from Lazio in 2007, has spoken of his delight at signing for the Bundesliga champions.

"I am to part company with Milan for the season for the team I have dreamed about playing for since I was a child," Oddo told Milan's official website.

"It was a difficult choice but the decision was made with Milan's backing."

I was very sad to hear that . Milan continue to trim the squad , I wish this will be the last player leaving. But also Oddo will return next season lol he wil be 33.

Milan just wanna take advantage of some cash as long as they have a player who can play both sides of defence in Zambrotta so they off loaded Oddo n the reason why it was on loan cause if the plan doesnt go as planned n Milan find difficulties cause of losin Oddo then they will have him back , if not then they will sell him.

But Oddo is more trustworthy than Antonini. He still needs time to develop.

Well you still have Zambrotta, and Bonera as backup, no disaster there.
