Italian defender Matteo Gabbia is on the brink of making a return to Milan from his loan stint, likely in January.
The defensive setbacks for the Rossoneri have amplified recently, especially with Fikayo Tomori sustaining a hamstring injury that is expected to sideline him for approximately two months. With only Simon Kjaer and young Jan-Carlo Simic available as fit center-backs for Stefano Pioli, Gabbia, currently on loan at Villarreal, has emerged as a potential solution to bolster Milan’s defense.
According to MilanNews, Gabbia’s return to the Rossoneri appears imminent, with significant progress made in negotiations. Initial talks with the player’s representatives have been followed by discussions with Villarreal, and it seems Gabbia is inclined to make the move back.
While some final details need sorting and a definitive agreement with Villarreal is pending, the prevailing sentiment suggests that the deal is inevitable and will likely materialize soon.
