Mario Gila is a candidate to leave Lazio in the summer, and Igli Tare could try to bring him to his new club AC Milan.
According to Corriere dello Sport, without the Champions League and Europa League there is the risk that one or two prized pieces will leave Lazio, and the Spaniard is among the suspects. Teams from the Premier League are keen, such as Brighton who have been on his trail for a month.
They plan to put €30-35m on the table to convince Lotito to sell Gila. Lazio must settle the accounts with Real Madrid, who hold 50% of his rights, and will therefore get half of the proceeds from the future sale of the defender.
Lotito, in the event of an official offer, will try to keep the price as high as possible. If there were two offers it would be better, this would allow him to play on the rise. In the event of a €30-35m sale, €15-17m would enter the club’s coffers, a small amount compared to his value.
This is why the minimum objective is to get €40m from the sale to get half of that. Brighton are not the only ones in the running: from Spain they speak of the interest of Bournemouth, who have just sold Huijsen for €60m and have money to reinvest.
Inter and Milan are also keen The defender’s manager, Alejandro Camano, also represents Lautaro Martinez. Meanwhile, the arrival of Tare at the Rossoneri – who discovered Gila – has sparked the suggestion of a move.
Mario dreams of playing in a top club in LaLiga or the Premier League, among those fighting to win the title or at least permanently in the Champions League. Brighton came 18th, Bournemouth 13th, they are of a lower level.
It will be up to the club and the agent to decide his future by seeking an exit agreement. His contract expires in 2027, a renewal could only be discussed at the end of the transfer window, if no offers have arrived or if Lotito has not deemed them suitable.
