AC Milan are considering Victor Valdepenas, a 19-year-old defender from Real Madrid, as an alternative to David Odugu. Valdepenas has already made his debut for Real Madrid's first team and can play as a central defender or left-back. His versatility and potential could make him an interesting addition to Milan's defensive lineup.

Milan are close to signing Mario Gila from Lazio, but they are not stopping there. The club is evaluating possible exits in defense, with Fikayo Tomori and David Odugu among those who could leave during the summer. Odugu, who struggled to find playing time last season, might be loaned out to continue his development.

The Rossoneri are also looking at other possible reinforcements for the central defender role. Gonçalo Inacio and Antonio Silva are being considered, indicating a significant shift in Milan's transfer strategy.

The arrival of Ruben Amorim as Milan's new coach could bring new ideas and a fresh approach to the team's defense. With Valdepenas's agent being the same as Gila's, negotiations could be smoother if Milan decide to pursue the young Spanish defender.
