"As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress), Odogu was a signing made late in the window and was dictated by the limited time available and the fact that other more senior options vanished. Following the rejection from Manuel Akanji and the inability to sign Joe Gomez, Milan shifted right at the end to go for Odogu, who to this point only has three senior appearances. Having not played a single league minute for Milan yet competitively, solutions are being evaluated."
"It is far too early to write the Germany U20 international off but he needs playing time to develop, having only played a snippet in the Coppa Italia against Lecce. He'll likely be sent out on loan until the end of the season during the winter transfer window. Yesterday, the same source also reported that Milan are expected to go back in for Gomez, who is struggled for regular minutes at Liverpool. This time, as opposed to the summer mercato, things could 'materialise very quickly'."
AC Milan sold Malick Thiaw to Newcastle United for €40m including bonuses. Milan then spent about half that fee on Koni De Winter from Genoa and €10m to sign David Odogu from Wolfsburg. Odogu was a late-window signing driven by limited time and the disappearance of more senior options after Manuel Akanji rejected and Joe Gomez could not be secured. Odogu has three senior appearances and no league minutes for Milan, only a brief Coppa Italia cameo against Lecce. He is likely to be loaned until season end. Milan are expected to renew interest in Joe Gomez, who lacks regular minutes at Liverpool, and a move could materialize quickly.
