Matteo Gabbia, born on 21 October 1999 (age 26), is an Italian central defender whose senior career has been shaped overwhelmingly by AC Milan. He wears squad number 46 and has built his standing there steadily rather than noisily.
Across eight seasons with Milan, Gabbia has made 111 league appearances and scored four league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored twice in 18 appearances – modest enough, but central defenders are rarely hired for their penalty-box poetry.
He remains a regular part of the Milan first-team picture in 2025-26, with 30 Serie A appearances and one Coppa Italia outing, making 31 appearances in all competitions without a goal. His current market value is around £14.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Gabbia’s career so far is a plain Milan story: long service, steady involvement, and continuing relevance in a demanding side.
