Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have set their sights on Lazio defender Mario Gila for a potential summer move as both clubs look to strengthen their defense. Gila, 24, who has made waves while with Lazio has attracted the interest of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain among many others; potentially making his move for between EUR40-45 Million per transfer fee.
Gila’s performances for Lazio have earned him attention from various clubs who seek to strengthen their defense, with Tottenham in particular taking an interest in him as potential replacement should Cristian Romero depart and giving Gila an opportunity to prove himself on Premier League soil.
Manchester City’s Interest in Gila
Manchester City is also in the running for Gila’s signature. After a season that did not meet their expectations, the club is eager to make significant additions to their squad. City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, is said to admire Gila for his calmness on the ball, his passing skills, and his defensive acumen. Guardiola believes that Gila could seamlessly fit into the team alongside established names like Ruben Dias and John Stones.
Manchester City may gain an edge in their pursuit of Gila due to their financial resources and player development environment, plus Real Madrid holding onto his 50% resale right. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are closely watching developments surrounding Gila as an ideal option to add depth to their squads.
Gila may still find his path uncertain, but whatever direction it leads in, this move marks another crucial milestone in his promising career.
