MILAN - Massimo Oddo will play next season for Bayern Munich. The transfer happened with the formula of a loan with the right to a purchase.

The Rossoneri's wing back, a World and Club World Champion, a product of Milan's youth system, still wanted to dedicate these few lines to Milan's managers and the fans:

"I'm temporarily leaving the team I had always dreamed of playing for and which gave me the possibility to win the most important trophies. My choice, which was difficult, suffered, but pondered, was taken in complete agreement and harmony with the club, which I want to take the opportunity to thank.

As I prepare for this fascinating new adventure I wish my team mates the best of luck. I thank and salute all the fans who have always been close to me to these colors and who always supported us during difficult times. An affectionate goodbye."

oh.. so true..

Why do Milan players have to make such emotional speeches. Makes me all sentimental. We love you too, Oddo. Don't forget to take extra classes for crosses while you're in Bayern.
