Simic key to Oddo switch Saturday 19 August, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Massimo Oddo’s proposed move to Milan could be back on the cards if Lazio accept Dario Simic as part of the deal.

The right-back has not hidden his desire to complete the move to San Siro, but the £6m price-tag put on his head by the capital club has so far proved a stumbling block.

It’s now reported that the transfer could be back on if Croatian international Simic is included as part of the agreement.

Pasquale Foggia had been offered on loan to help cut the cash sum, but the Biancocelesti rejected that proposal.

“If Oddo wants to leave I will not force him to stay,” said Lazio Coach Delio Rossi earlier this week.

This isn’t the first time that Simic has been named on Milan’s exit list, as he has also been linked with Atalanta, but he warns he won’t be an ideal replacement for Oddo.

“It’s easier for me to play as a central defender and I can make the difference there rather than at right-back,” said the ex-Inter man. “Of course I can take that role, but I give my best in the middle.”

Meanwhile, the Croatian is preparing for Tuesday’s decisive Champions League preliminary round trip to Red Star Belgrade.

“I’ve played at the Marakana a few times and it really is a ‘hot’ place to come into and it’s tough to beat them there,” he explained after the 1-0 first leg win.

“In any case, we are a good squad and are ready for anything, as we really want to enter the Champions League this season. Their tactics should change from San Siro, as they’ll use two strikers and a Trequartista, so there will also be more crosses for Nikola Zigic.”
