Lazio will not let Mario Gila leave in the January transfer window, but AC Milan and Inter are still plotting a summer swoop.
Signing another centre-back is one of Milan’s missions in the January window, even if Igli Tare claimed before the Cagliari game that the current defensive options are enough to get to the summer. Various names have been linked, from Federico Gatti to Joe Gomez, but Gila’s name has remained.
The Spaniard’s agent has attempted to cool some of the rumours about a mid-season move to Milan or Inter in recent days, by reiterating that his focus is on Lazio. Yet, with 18 months left on his deal, it is likely that he is fielding calls from several interested clubs, and it seems the Rossoneri are one.
Milan and Inter chase Mario
Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano published a video on their YouTube channel in which they gave an update on Gila, confirming that the two Milan clubs want to sign him in the summer.
“I wanted to add something regarding Mario Gila’s name from Lazio, Lazio who signed Kenneth Taylor, the boy who will be in Italy this evening,” Romano said.
“Meanwhile, I’ll add that, speaking of Gila, despite the constant talk of big teams interested in the Lazio defender, today Lazio are absolutely not planning a departure in January.
“As for the summer with a contract expiring in 2027, both Milan and Inter have already received information on the situation of the player.
“Both Milan and Inter are following him closely. He’s a highly-rated player, a player who is clearly demonstrating his value, but today Lazio aren’t thinking about a January exit, so he’s a name that we should probably absolutely forget about in the January transfer window.
“We’ll see about the summer, also based on the contract situation. I repeat, both Milan and Inter are very attentive, but the race for Gila is a long one and won’t end now.”
