Matteo Gabbia can depart the club the moment a new defender is signed.
In precisely 2 weeks, the new Serie A season will begin, and Paolo Maldini & Frederic Massara are working to round out the Stefano Pioli coaching staff. Milan are looking for a defender and a midfielder now that they have completed the deals for Divock Origi and Charles De Ketelaere.
Matteo Gabbia will leave the team and join Sampdoria on loan once a new center back joins, according to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia on Saturday night. The 21-year-old has already discussed everything with Marco Giampaolo and Sporting Director Daniele Faggiano, and everyone has come to an understanding.
Gabbia will strive to play more consistently and keep developing because playing time with Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori, Simon Kjaer, and another defender in the squad is likely to be constrained. Matteo is a Milan youth product who has participated in preseason while sporting a respectable appearance.
Maldini and Massara reportedly want to strengthen the defense by bringing in Tottenham’s Japhet Tanganga, according to Di Marzio. The 23-year-old has been the target of the team for a number of weeks, and multiple sources claim that they are attempting to sign him to a loan with the option to purchase in the summer. Gabbia will depart following Alessio Romagnoli, who left on a free transfer.
