Odogu dry loan

Model

Chelsea–Strasbourg

What happened. AC Milan are exploring a formal strategic partnership with Ligue 1 side Toulouse, aiming to emulate the multi-club network Chelsea and Strasbourg operate under BlueCo. The dry loan of defender David Odogu to Toulouse in mid-August is seen as the first test case for a wider collaboration.

RedBird's Gerry Cardinale is driving the plan to build an operational pipeline between the two clubs.
Milan are monitoring Toulouse talents including goalkeeper Guillaume Restes and midfielder Alexis Vossah.
Milan's Futuro prospects like Aurelien Guernier could develop in France's top flight.

If it materialises, the link would give Milan a French development and scouting arm similar to BlueCo's setup.
