Mainz ‘to explore’ move for AC Milan defender David Odogu | OneFootball

According to Sky, Mainz are exploring a move to bring AC Milan defender David Odogu back to the Bundesliga as the window enters its final month.

The 20-year-old joined Milan from Wolfsburg in 2025 for around €10 million. He made only two Serie A appearances in a frustrating first season in Italy.

A deal could be complicated, with Milan preferring a loan without an option to buy, indicating they still see him as part of their long-term plans. It remains to be seen whether Mainz would accept those terms.

The Germany U20 international is also attracting interest from elsewhere in Europe, with Belgian side Anderlecht among the clubs monitoring his situation.

For now, his next step is uncertain, and any agreement would return him to Germany after a year in Serie A.
