Milan introduces Gabbia: Official statement released

AC Milan has officially announced the return of Matteo Gabbia from his loan stint at Villarreal. This decision sees head coach, Stefano Pioli, gain another defensive option ahead of the team’s forthcoming Serie A, and Coppa Italia games.

In an official statement, the club declared the early termination of Gabbia’s temporary switch to Villarreal. This announcement means the player will rejoin the first team with immediate effect. As noted in the club’s communique, “AC Milan announces the early resolution of the temporary sale of Matteo Gabbia to Villarreal.
