Matteo Gabbia had played the last few games as a starter next to Pierre Kalulu because Alessio Romagnoli was positive to Covid-19 and with Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori both out due to injuries.
The AC Milan Primavera product showed glimpses of qualities which confirmed to the management the idea that he must have his contract renewed.
According to what is reported by Sky Sport Italia, the young Italian centre-back number 46 is very close to signing on an extension that would be valid until 2026. If during this transfer window, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara were to add a new central defender, Matteo Gabbia would then leave on loan, most likely to Cagliari.
