The young defender was destined for a loan move to Sampdoria in the summer but Milan ended up keeping him. In hindsight, that was a very good decision as Gabbia has come in handy during the current injury crisis.
Starting against both Juventus and Chelsea, he allowed Pierre Kalulu to move out on the right, but not just that. He has also done very well in the centre of the defence, competing with the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
According to Calciomercato.com, the interest from other clubs (including Sampdoria) has increased since the summer but Milan won’t sanction a January move. Instead, they will keep Gabbia and give him playing time, so as to not halt his progress.
Who knows, perhaps Gabbia will be ‘the Kalulu’ of this season. The Frenchman, as we know, got the chance amid an injury crisis and never looked back.
