11/28/2008 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has confirmed his club will allow Germany striker Lukas Podolski to move on for a fee of $19.3 million.
The 23-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot during more than two seasons with Bayern and has been linked with a return to former club Koln for some months.
Beckenbauer had initially refused to entertain the idea of allowing Podolski to leave, but has now changed his tune.
"Everything in life has its price. Two-and-a-half years ago we paid [$12.9] million. Now, the fee is [$19.3] million. You cannot keep a professional if he is unhappy, on the bench and not playing.
"Lukas does not quite fit into our way of playing. He is a top-class striker when he has space in front of him, as he has the pace to run clear.
"But the teams we play against are usually very defensive, so we need players who can get into the penalty area, Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni in particular."

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
