Atletico Madrid Pursues Mario Gila Amidst Milan's Interest
Lazio's promising defender, Mario Gila, has reportedly become the target of a potential €30 million summer transfer bid from Atletico Madrid, following strong prior interest from AC Milan. The central defender, whose current contract with "the Aquile" extends until June 2027, is widely expected to be sold for a significant profit at the close of the current football season. Gila originally joined Lazio from Real Madrid's youth academy in 2022 for €6 million, having developed through their system despite being originally from Barcelona.
Mario Gila Draws Intense Attention from Atletico Madrid
According to reports from the Spanish newspaper Diario As, Atletico Madrid has firmly set its sights on Gila as a crucial defensive reinforcement for the upcoming campaign. While the club is well aware of the robust competition from AC Milan – particularly strong given that former Lazio director of sport Igli Tare now oversees Milan's transfer strategy – Atletico appears to possess superior financial leverage. They are reportedly prepared to offer up to €30 million for the player, a sum that would exceed the Rossoneri’s reported €20 million proposal.
The Madrid club's vigorous pursuit of Gila is partly driven by an anticipated defensive reshuffle, as both Clement Lenglet and Jose Maria Gimenez are tipped to depart in the summer. "Los Colchoneros" have a documented history of successful acquisitions from Italian clubs, having recently signed players such as Matteo Ruggeri and Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, Nico Gonzalez from Juventus, and Giacomo Raspadori from Napoli, underscoring their preference for sourcing talent from Serie A.
