"In a Lazio side currently struggling under Maurizio Sarri after a summer of chaos, Gila is an 'insurmountable bulwark', a central defender everyone would want these days. The Spaniard would be the ideal reinforcement for Milan, as it goes. Luka Modric was Tare's first signing for Milan, but Gila was the last he gave to Lazio, demonstrating formidable flexibility in his selection. The Albanian was clever in realising that Modric, at 40, still had so much to give."
"That's why Tare managed to snatch him from Real Madrid, paying just €6m and agreeing to give the Spanish club a percentage of the resale price. Two signings at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of what they represent, though both at a very low cost. Milan has climbed to the top of the table while still having to do without their second-most expensive signing, Ardon Jashari, and with only brief glimpses of the most expensive signing, Christopher Nkunku. The pair cost over €70m."
Igli Tare led AC Milan's summer rebuild as sporting director, blending experienced and youthful acquisitions to reshape the squad. He signed Luka Modric at 40 and secured Mario Gila from Real Madrid for €6m with a resale percentage, showcasing both prudence and bold scouting. Milan reached the top of the Serie A table while coping without Ardon Jashari due to a serious injury and with limited appearances from Christopher Nkunku. Tare invested heavily in Jashari despite doubts and balanced high-cost signings with bargain moves to maintain competitive performance.
