AC Milan have signed 16-year-old forward Gabriele Borsa to his first professional contract. The club confirmed the deal on 30 October and stated that the teenager will continue his development with Milan Futuro, its second team.
Milan did not release the length of the contract or its financial terms. The announcement also gives no indication of an immediate move to the senior first team, focusing instead on his progression through the Milan Futuro setup.
According to AC Milan’s official 2026/27 Under-18 squad records, Borsa was born on 18 January 2010. The body text of the club’s English announcement contained an error that referred to 2008, though the English headline, the Italian statement and the official Under-18 squad list all confirm 2010 as his birth year.
Borsa has already featured twice for Milan Futuro in Serie D this season. He made his senior debut against ChievoVerona on 18 October. Seven days later, he came on as a substitute in a 1-1 draw against Club Milano on 25 October, a second appearance confirmed in the club’s match report.
Competing in Serie D, Milan Futuro serves as a bridge between the youth academy and senior football. The team allows academy players to gain experience against older, established opponents while staying inside the club’s coaching structure. In its review of the 2025/26 season, AC Milan highlighted how the team created regular senior opportunities for players from the youth sector.
