Mario Gila, Lazio Rome’s 24-year-old central defender (contract until 2027), has been announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s mercato targets. Il Messaggero now claims that Chelsea are also in the running.
“Il Messaggero: Duel between Chelsea and #PSG for Gila. The Blues have already offered €35m, while Lazio are demanding at least €50m for their defender. Half to be paid to Real Madrid.”
As always, we’re cautious when it comes to rumours. Particularly when the Italian media put forward figures, as they tend to go in all directions on this subject. But it’s quite possible that PSG and other European giants are interested in Gila. He’s coming off a great season and could be looking to “take his career to the next level”.
However, there’s nothing concrete. Lazio won’t open the door easily, and the Spaniard might also be happy to stay. Just as we don’t know whether PSG intend to take action. Let’s wait and see.
