Matteo Gabbia was born in Busto Arsizio on 21 October 1999. He joined the club as a schoolboy player in 2012 and was placed in the Giovanissimi Regionali category. He got his first chance in the first team against KF Shkëndija in a Europa League play-off tie on 24 August 2017. After playing for the Primavera squad, he was loaned out to Serie C side Lucchese in 2018/19 before making his return.

In the Rossoneri shirt, he has shown himself to be a solid alternative in defence, particularly in 2019/20 and 2020/21, two seasons where he was often called upon. As of June 2023, he has amassed a total of 51 official appearances for the Diavolo across all competitions, with his first goal coming in Dinamo Zagreb v AC Milan in the Champions League in October 2022.

After turning 14, Matteo was consistently included in the Italy youth setup. He reached the final of the European Under-19 Championship in 2018 and captained the side at the Under-20 World Cup a year later, before ending his experiences with the Azzurrini at the 2021 Under-21 Euros.
