"David Odogu remains perhaps the most mysterious signings AC Milan have made in recent times, as he continues to struggle for minutes. La Gazzetta dello Sport recall how after winning the U17 World Cup with Germany two years ago, some German media dubbed Odogu 'the future Beckenbauer'. This accolade is currently hanging in the balance, awaiting confirmation, and perhaps risks being a bit too heavy on the shoulders of a 19-year-old."
"Small squad but no chances Odogu has also received a few calls from Milan Futuro boss Massimo Oddo. Three, to be precise, but in the meantime, that significant zero remains under Massimiliano Allegri. He made his debut for Milan in the Coppa Italia, getting 12 minutes against Lecce in the round of 32, but nothing in the league. The situation is notable because the squad, as is well known, is small."
David Odogu was signed by AC Milan in the summer for €7m plus €3m in bonuses as a targeted investment for the future. He won the 2023 U17 World Cup and European Championship with Germany and was once dubbed 'the future Beckenbauer' by some German media. Odogu has not played a single minute in Serie A and is the only Milan outfield player with zero league minutes. He made a 12-minute debut in the Coppa Italia against Lecce. The squad uses a three-man defence with five central defenders, limiting rotation opportunities. A loan move for the second half of the season appears likely.
