Matteo Gabbia is enjoying the moment. The Rossoneri center-back is the most talked-about player at Milan these days after he decided the Milan derby with a last-minute goal. Since returning from his loan at Villarreal in January 2024, the 24-year-old Italian player has transformed into a more aware athlete.
This football maturity has translated into his performances on the field, making him by far the most consistent defender in the squad over the past nine months, all while embodying great sense of belonging to the club, as relayed via Milannews.it.
And it is precisely for this reason that today Il Giornale, praising the Rossoneri center-back, published the following headline:
"A Milanista at Milan."
Then we read the following
"Gabbia, derby man, the only Italian among the Rossoneri, has provided the sense of belonging that was missing. And the club wants to secure him."
