‘He should have a little more consideration’ – Gabbia’s agent unhappy with Milan treatment | OneFootball

Matteo Gabbia’s agent has expressed his displeasure at the way that AC Milan are treating his client with regards to a lack of playing time.

Tullio Tinti spoke to Radio Sportiva about a number of different players that he represents and naturally he was asked about Gabbia, who feels a strong attachment to his boyhood club but continues to be overlooked regardless of the coach.

“Milan renewed him a few months ago, but being Italian he always has to convince the coaches while the others arrive and get given the shirt [starting spot]. He should have a little more consideration: he has shown that he is Milan-worthy and has the attitude of a Milan-worthy player,” he said (via MilanNews).

It is quite hard to make a case against Gabbia, who was loaned out to Villarreal last season but brought back early amid a centre-back injury crisis and did a brilliant job when called upon. He seems to keep losing his starting spot when he is in far from bad form, which explains his agent’s frustrations.

As a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport outlined earlier today, Milan have tried six different pairings in the centre of defence this season and Gabbia features in three of the top four in terms of least goals conceded per game. His pairing with Malick Thiaw is actually the best by some distance.
