CorSport: Milan reach verbal agreement over terms with Gila – €15-18m deal pursued

The rumours about AC Milan signing Mario Gila will not go away, and the management even know how much they would like to spend.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), Gila is certainly high on Igli Tare and Milan’s list for the summer, when they will look to sign another central defender to ensure that the level of the department remains high.

In the winter window that has just closed, Milan were more looking for opportunities to welcome a defender on loan, due to only being in league action between now and June, and also because of the growth of Koni De Winter.

A plan for the summer

However, as the weeks pass by, it is looking almost certain that Milan will be back in European competitions next season, and hopefully the Champions League. Thus, with three starting centre-backs in Allegri’s system, the ideal is to have five dependable options.

For this reason, work has already begun on Mario Gila. Specifically, the Rossoneri are in contact with the player’s agents. Gila has a contract with Lazio until 2027, which he has already announced he does not wish to renew.

There is a verbal agreement over a five-year deal, but then negotiations will have to switch to the Biancocelesti. Milan want to pay €15-18m, but Lazio will have to give 50% of the sum to Real Madrid because of their resale clause.
