Bayern Hijack Oddo's Move To Lyon?

Oddo looked set to be on his way to join compatriot Fabio Grosso in the French league at Olympique Lyon, but now he could be joining Luca Toni in Germany instead.

Milan president Adriano Galliani recently announced that the club is looking to trim down their squad after the arrivals of Andriy Shevchenko and Phillipe Senderos, and that Oddo could be one of the players leaving.

According to tuttomercatoweb.com, Bayern Munich were interested in the player at the beginning of the summer and proposed a swap deal that would involve French international Willy Sagnol moving to Milan. Now it seems that Bayern are acting on their interest in Oddo once again before the transfer window closes. It appears the Bavarians are not finished reinforcing their side as they return make their return to the Champions League this season.

Certainly this news will put Oddo's move to Lyon in jeopardy, as the ex-Lazio player considers all his possible options.

Oddo's performances for Milan last season ware considered relatively poor by the Milan tifosi and the media. In fact, Oddo lost his spot on the national team and was not chosen in Roberto Donadoni's squad for Euro 2008. The former Verona player was also part of the Milan team that won the Champions League in 2007.
