"Arriving at Milan at 19 is a good starting point, but considerations must be made taking all the factors into account. On the one hand, there's the aura of an international club fighting for the Scudetto, there's Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Milanello, there's Luka Modric setting standards in training, and a trophy room unmatched in Italian football. Then there's a coach like Massimiliano Allegri, who loves to explain football throughout the week, especially from a defensive perspective."
"Odogu only got 12 minutes in the Coppa Italia against Lecce and four in the league against Verona. To give him a bit more playing time, he was sent to Milan Futuro three times (all 90-minute outings). The signs pointed to a possible loan deal in January, allowing him some more consistent senior minutes. A dry loan deal would be useful for him to return to Milanello in June and decide whether to keep him or let him leave again."
David Odogu joined AC Milan in the winter transfer window at 19 and has logged only 16 senior minutes this season. He faces competition from centre-backs Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Matija Pavlovic, with Davide De Winter improving and Bartesaghi also used in the centre-left role. Odogu played 12 minutes in the Coppa Italia against Lecce and four in Serie A versus Verona, and featured three times for Milan Futuro for full 90-minute outings. A potential January loan to gain regular senior minutes was considered but stalled when Milan did not sign another defender, so he remains at the club to learn from the senior environment.
