Gabriel has already started training with his new club and will spend the next season in blue. There is no buy-out clause in the deal.

The move got the official stamp this Wednesday and the goalkeeper will be playing for Napoli in the 2015/16 season, looking to beat Pepe Reina for a place in the starting XI of Maurizio Sarri.

“AC Milan announces that Gabriel has joined Napoli on loan,” a brief statement on Milan’s site confirms. There is no buy-out clause so the Brazilian will return to the red and black club next summer.

It is reported that Milan wanted Gabriel to rejoin Carpi for which he played on loan last season in Serie B and was very impressive, helping them to get a promotion. But the player took the decision to go to Napoli instead. The 22-year-old wrote on his Instagram today that “Now, beginning a new cycle in my career, I want to thank @acmilan, a top club that always gives me so many great things!!”

Gabriel joined Milan in 2012 from Cruzeiro and has 7 appearances in red and black. Last night he reached the Napoli training center and already took part of the session today.
