Mario Gila has been repeatedly linked with AC Milan, with reports of a possible verbal agreement on personal terms. Competition for the defender’s signature and the need to negotiate with Lazio’s president Claudio Lotito make the deal difficult. The agent previously suggested openness to joining Milan and working with Allegri, but uncertainty at Milan’s management level has not helped. La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates the chances of Gila joining Milan starting in July are slim. Milan have tried to make moves, including through Igli Tare, but Gila has multiple offers from Napoli, Inter, and Juventus. Lazio must approve, and Real Madrid is owed 50% of any transfer fee, leaving Lotito with about €12.5m from a presumed €25m deal, which may not be enough to convince him.
"Despite all of the reports in recent weeks, the chances of Mario Gila joining AC Milan in the summer window are now low. One of the names that Milan have been repeatedly linked with in view of the upcoming mercato is Gila. Sources have spoken of a verbal agreement over personal terms, yet the competition and having to deal with Claudio Lotito makes things tough."
"The defender's agent even gave an interview earlier in the month in which he strongly hinted that his client would be open to joining Milan and working with Allegri. The uncertainty about the Rossoneri at management level since probably hasn't helped things. Gila now not on the cards According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the chances of Gila playing for Milan starting from July are slim."
"Milan have tried and made moves, especially with Igli Tare, who brought Gila to Lazio and values him as much or more than before. However, the Spaniard has several offers - including Napoli, Inter and Juventus in Italy - and must get Lazio's approval. His contract expires in a year, and Lazio will have to pay Real Madrid 50% of the proceeds."
"Assuming a €25m transfer, Lotito would have €12.5m left in his coffers. Is that enough to convince him? It seems not, and from what La Gazzetta infer, there isn't much appetite from the Rossoneri to push things further."
