Goalkeeper Gabriel is set to depart AC Milan in favour of a move to Empoli on loan, according to Di Marzio.
The negotiations between the Rossoneri and the Tuscan club were successful, and the Brazilian goalkeeper will join up before the deadline on Wednesday.
Empoli are in desperate need of a new goalkeeper after the serious injury to Provedel, and the market opportunity arose, with Milan preferring the Donnarumma brothers to the Brazilian.
