David Odogu
Davide invernizzi Uyoyo Odogu (born 3 June 2006) is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club AC Milan. He is a German youth international.
Born in Berlin, Odogu played for the youth academies of Steglitzer SC Südwest and Hertha Zehlendorf, before spending a season with the youth academy of Union Berlin. He moved to Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg in 2020, initially joining the youth academy. In December 2022, he signed a new contract with VfL Wolfsburg. In January 2023, he attended mid-season training camp with the VfL Wolfsburg first-team squad. Odogu finished runner-up with VfL Wolfsburg under-17 in the U17 Nachwuchsliga at the end of the 2022–23 season.
On 1 September 2025, he moved to Italy and joined Serie A club AC Milan, permanently for an estimated €10 million transfer fee ahead of the 2025–26 season.
On 23 September, Odogu made his debut for the club in a 3–0 Coppa Italia home victory over Lecce, substituting Strahinja Pavlović. One day later, he debuted for AC Milan's reserve team Milan Futuro on 24 September, starting in a goalless draw Serie D Group B away match against Casatese Merate. On 28 December, he made his Serie A debut for Milan appearing as a substitute for Fikayo Tomori in the second half of a 3-0 win over Hellas Verona.
A Germany youth international, Odogu featured for the Germany side that won the final of the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Hungary, and the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia.
Odogu is described as a tall defender, capable of playing on the right or left side of central defence. Combining physical strength, with speed and a good tackling ability he has been compared to German international defender Antonio Rüdiger.
Born in Germany, Odogu has Nigerian heritage through his father. His parents and his sister attended the 2023 UEFA European U17 Championship final, which Germany won against France, but Odogu didn't play however. While he was away he continued with his education, and even sat exams in History and Geography during the tournament.
