AC Milan Set to Sign Teenage Defender David Odogu from Wolfsburg

AC Milan are about to sign 18-year-old defender David Odogu from the German club Wolfsburg. He is a talented young player.

DEAL ALMOST COMPLETE

Milan and Wolfsburg are close to an agreement for Odogu, born in 2006. He is a top young player in Germany. Odogu made his Bundesliga debut last season, participating in three matches. Despite an injury to a key Wolfsburg defender, he is not getting many chances to play first-team football. Odogu is now close to joining Milan, having expressed a preference for the club over others like Anderlecht.

MILAN’S DEFENSIVE PLANS AND SEASON FORM

Milan’s defense fell short last season, as they finished eighth in Serie A and failed to reach the European spots, which indicates a need for reinforcements this summer. Injuries and inconsistent form have prompted them to consider strengthening their squad. According to reports, AC Milan aims for at least a top-four finish in the new Serie A season after missing out last season. Odogu would be a young addition to Milan’s backline as the club looks to rejuvenate their squad.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ODOGU AND MILAN

AC Milan are gearing up to face Bologna, who finished one place below them last season. They are just three points clear of the league leaders, indicating how tight things remain at the top of the table. If the deal is completed in time, Odogu will be in preseason and could make his debut as early as the cup matches.
