The youngster came on to play in his first Serie A match against Torino on Monday and had previously revealed that Ibrahimovic had “congratulated” him after the feat.
The 38-year-old returned to San Siro this winter and has helped lift the spirit at Milan and Gabbia has revealed that he will study the former Sweden international to “learn some tricks”.
“He is different class,” Gabbia told Mediaset Sport. “He drives you and helps you, he’s a champion on and off the pitch.
“I will definitely try to watch him every second, to learn some tricks.”
Milan have picked up 15 points in seven matches with Ibrahimovic back at the club and they are through to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
But the Rossoneri will have to cope without a suspended Zlatan in the return leg against Juventus at the Allianz Arena, after he picked up a yellow card during the 1-1 draw with the Old Lady at San Siro.
