Unexpected Move: Odogu Heads to AC Milan from Wolfsburg
AC Milan Secures Surprise Signing on Final Day of Transfer Window
In a surprising turn of events on the final day of the transfer window, AC Milan has announced the signing of 19-year-old defender David Odogo from VfL Wolfsburg. The transfer, which could potentially reach €10 million, including bonuses, comes as a significant move for the Italian club.
Initially, AC Milan had set its sights on Liverpool FC's Joe Gomez and Manchester City's Manuel Akanji for their center-back position. However, Liverpool FC did not grant permission for Gomez to join AC Milan, and Akanji is reportedly joining Inter Milan instead.
AC Milan's coach, Massimiliano Allegri, has been instrumental in organizing the signing of Odogo. The young defender, who has only made three appearances in the Bundesliga for VfL Wolfsburg, is also a member of the German U17 national team.
David Odogo arrived in Milan on Monday afternoon for a medical and contract signing. The transfer is set to be finalized after these formalities are completed. VfL Wolfsburg is selling Odogo to AC Milan, marking his departure from the German club.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, has secured the signing of former Dortmund player Manuel Akanji. Akanji was initially a target for AC Milan, but the Italian club's search for a new center-back has been affected by unsuccessful attempts to sign both Gomez and Akanji.
This transfer marks a busy end to the transfer window for AC Milan, who have managed to secure a promising young talent in David Odogo. Fans will be eager to see how the defender performs in the Italian league.
