Official: AC Milan signs Gabriel from Cruzeiro
Posted Friday, May 25, 2012 by YAHOO Sport
AC Milan has announced the capture of promising goalkeeper Gabriel from Cruzeiro for an undisclosed fee.
The Rossoneri was in the market for a new shot-stopper due to the departure of third-choice glovesman Flavio Roma, and has now found its man to become the understudy to Christian Abbiati and Marco Amelia.
"Gabriel will be registered in the Lega Serie A in the next few weeks and will join the team in pre-season training on July 9," a statement on the official Milan website reads.
The 19-year-old goalkeeper is a product of the Cruzeiro youth academy, and has been capped at Under-20 level for Brazil.
Gabriel will be the third addition to the Milan squad for next season following the captures of Riccardo Montolivo from Fiorentina and Bakaye Traore from Nancy.
