AC Milan know that Matteo Gabbia is at a crucial stage in his career and that is why they will consider loaning him out this summer, a report claims.
Gabbia was called upon to partner Pierre Kalulu in January as Alessio Romagnoli had Covid-19 while Fikayo Tomori had been out after undergoing knee surgery and Simon Kjaer is a long-term absentee. He is clearly a player that the management believe in for the future given he recently extended his deal until 2026, but now he is back to being on the bench as a fourth choice.
According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Milan must figure out what to do with Gabbia in the summer and it will depend on how the centre-back department looks numerically.
He could be loaned to play continuously which is obviously a necessity for the 22-year-old, and he would have gone out on loan already in January if Stefano Pioli’s rearguard hadn’t been in crisis due to injuries.
