Oddo Explains Italian Players Exodus
According to Massimo Oddo the high amount of Italian players leaving for foreign clubs is not down to their own will.
The exodus of talented Italian players to foreign clubs is worrying for Calcio, but according to Milan full-back Massimo Oddo it is "caused by specific needs for the clubs and not the players' wishes."
The Azzurri right-back has a clear idea of what the core of the problem is: "The fiscal laws we have in Italy", he explained to 'Radio Tv', "are much different from those in the rest of Europe and that makes it very difficult to be competitive within the continent."
The World Cup winner then took time to talk about his club's transfer dealings: "It's not easy for Milan to choose new players, only great players will do to strengthen the squad and improve it; the mid-table clubs can afford to invest in young players without running the risk of burning them out."
