AC Milan have officially announced the contract renewal of defender Matteo Gabbia, who has signed a new deal extending his stay at the club until 2029. The agreement, which includes a significant salary increase, reflects Gabbia’s growing importance to the team under coach Paulo Fonseca.
Calciomercato report how the renewal comes after a standout performance from Gabbia, who scored the winning goal in the recent derby against Inter Milan, solidifying his status as a key player for the Rossoneri. The club’s social media accounts hinted at the announcement with a cryptic post featuring an image of a cage obscuring a player’s face, generating excitement among fans.
Today, Gabbia finalized the contract at Casa Milan in the presence of his agent, Tullio Tinti. Previously earning just under one million euros net per year, Gabbia’s new contract will see his salary rise to over two million euros annually. This four-year extension demonstrates Milan’s commitment to retaining homegrown talent who has become indispensable in the defensive lineup.
A statement on the clubs official website reads:
“AC Milan is delighted to announce that Matteo Gabbia has renewed his contract until 30 June 2029.
Born in 1999, Matteo has worn the Rossoneri shirt since he was 12 and his determination and contribution, both on and off the pitch, deeply align with Club values.
After totalling 84 appearances and five goals, AC Milan and Matteo will continue to write their story together. “
