Olof Mellberg Hints At Villa Exit

Olof Mellberg has hinted that he might look to see out his contract and move to America.

The Sweden international defender, who has been at Villa 6 years since joining from Racing Santander, has just one year left on his contract.

He told the Daily Star:

‘Yes, I have talked about the possibility of playing in North America. Since Beckham signed, lots of players have talked about MLS as being a place to play.’

I hope not, he’ll only be 30 come the end of the season and should have plenty more to offer at Villa. Wouldn’t be good to see another player able to leave on a free either. Thomas Sorenson also has just one year left on his contract. Hmmmm.
