He would have just absorbed Sasuke's chakra like did with Kabuto. It does (Rinnegan says hello), but the chakras have to merge first I believe, something that apparently takes some time.

Madara is a descendant of Hagoromo though. So he already has the genetics of the Rinnegan crossing through his veins. Plus You also have to be near death to awaken that, unlike normal KKG.
