"AC Milan are planning to bring in a central defender and let one leave in order to complete the department, a journalist has claimed. It is well known that Milan went for a more experienced option in the centre-back role towards the end of the summer mercato. Liverpool's Joe Gomez and Manchester City's Manuel Akanji were linked, but the former stayed and the latter chose rivals Inter."
"In the end, David Odogu arrived from VfL Wolfsburg for a fee widely reported to be €10m, but given his lack of senior experience he is definitely seen as one for the future. He is yet to make a league appearance, which demonstrates this. Milan's idea According to Alessandro Jacobone, Milan's plan is 'an in-and-out operation' in the defensive department. Odogu - who started yesterday for Milan Futuro - would depart on a dry loan spell (no option to buy) to get more minutes."
AC Milan intend to add an experienced central defender while allowing one centre-back to leave to complete the defensive department. The club pursued senior centre-back options late in the summer, with Joe Gomez and Manuel Akanji linked, but neither move materialised. David Odogu was signed from VfL Wolfsburg for a reported €10m and is regarded as a prospect without senior league appearances. The club plans an in-and-out approach: Odogu would go on a dry loan to gain minutes while a ready-made, experienced defender would be recruited. Mario Gila of Lazio is one identified target, with Igli Tare's past role potentially helping Milan.
