Bayern Munich defender Massimo Oddo said he would like to extend his stay with the German champions after his season-long loan expires.

The Italian international, who joined the Bavarians on loan from AC Milan last summer, managed to leave his mark on the Bundesliga within a relatively short spell.

"My time here at Bayern has been a real experience for me, both as a player and a person," Oddo told Die Roten's website.

"I'm really happy in Munich. We have a great team with lots of good players. There's great team spirit and we all get on really well."

The 33-year-old, whose contract with Bayern runs out by the end of the ongoing season, acclaimed the German league, saying it's more competitive than the Serie A.

"The Bundesliga is also entertaining. In Italy there are normally three or maybe four teams looking for the Scudetto, but here there are lots more and the league is more open and exciting," he added

"My loan deal ends in the summer, but I could easily imagine myself staying in Munich.

"However, I can't make the decision by myself - it's up to my club, the coach and the management."
