Tuttosport: Lazio star remains Milan's No.1 defensive target - why they must accelerate
"Gila continues to be at the top of Igli Tare's list. The Spaniard is one of the director's intuitions, and the coach also values ​​him highly. Confirmation of this was the presence of a Milan scout in the deserted stands of the Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening for Lazio-Sassuolo, to watch him closer."
"The former Real Madrid man has already announced to Lazio his decision not to renew his contract, which expires in 2027. The Roman club will be forced to sell him during the summer transfer window to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year."
"Tactically, Gila seems a good fit because he can play in a centre-back pairing or in a three, down the middle or outside. These are all important factors in Allegri's thinking. Now, however, it's time to step on the gas."
AC Milan pursue Mario Gila as their primary defensive target to strengthen a depleted department and compete across multiple competitions. The Spanish defender, formerly of Real Madrid, has informed Lazio of his decision not to renew his contract expiring in 2027, forcing the Roman club to sell during the summer window. Milan scout attended Lazio-Sassuolo to observe Gila closely. Director Igli Tare, who previously signed Gila at Lazio, champions the acquisition. Gila's tactical versatility—capable of playing centre-back in pairs or threes—aligns with Allegri's needs. However, internal uncertainty regarding transfer window control between CEO Giorgio Furlani and sporting director Tare complicates proceedings. Premier League clubs present competing interest, necessitating Milan's swift action.
