Mario Gila seems to be heading for the Lazio exit door, and Igli Tare is keen on signing him for a second time, this time for AC Milan.
As Calciomercato.com recall, Gila kept Lazio alive on Sunday with an outstanding performance, as they held Atalanta to a 0-0 draw away from home. The defender arrived in the 2022 summer transfer window for €6m from Real Madrid, signing a deal until 2027, but his fate seems marked.
Tare brought him to the capital and in exchange for such a low fee, Los Blancos will get 50% of the proceeds from a future resale. Gila has racked up 91 appearances for Lazio, though the time to move on may be coming.
Club’s circling
Claudio Lotito’s club have attempted to tie him down to a new deal, offering him a higher salary than his current €500,000 net per year, making him the lowest-paid player in the entire first team.
However, since they haven’t received a positive response (at least for now) the most likely scenario is a potential divorce between the parties at the end of this season, also to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer.
Gila is also in demand in the Premier League, but Milan and Inter are also pursuing him ahead of next season. His agent also represents Lautaro Martinez, with whom the Nerazzurri management has an excellent relationship.
The path from Lazio to Inter is a well-trodden one as both Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij went there, and ironically Gila could replace one of them, as both have contracts that expire in June.
