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 for the 2018/19 season to Serie C side Lucchese, before being recalled.

In the Rossoneri shirt, he has shown himself to be an important member of the defensive unit, particularly in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 season where he was often called upon. In all competitions for the club, as of June 2022, he has 30 appearances to his name.

Since he was 14, Matteo has consistently been included in the Italy youth teams. He reached the final of the Euro Under-19s in 2018 and captained the side in the Under-20 World Cup a year later, before ending his experiences with the Azzurrini in the Euro 2021 Under-21 edition.
