Oguchi Onyewu has offered AC Milan to play an additional year without pay to make up for being out injured most of the 2009-2010 season. The one year extension will extend Onyewu’s contract to June of 2013.
A club statement read: “Onyewu, who has been out for virtually the whole season due to injury, but who at this time is getting ready to face the World Cup adventure in South Africa with his national team, has become a star today with a significant gesture from a personal and professional standpoint.
“Onyewu has requested and obtained a contract extension from June 30, 2012 until June 30, 2013. With respect to that year, as was his wish, which has been appreciated by the club, Onyewu has asked not to receive any type of wages. This is an exemplary gesture that deserves our sincere congratulations.”
