Furlani Negotiates with Lazio to Sign Gila in January Transfer
AC Milan is actively pursuing Mario Gila from Lazio, with CEO Giorgio Furlani at the forefront of negotiations for a January transfer. The club is seeking additional experience in its defensive lineup to support coach Massimiliano Allegri. Gila, frequently mentioned in transfer rumors, appears to be nearing a move away from Lazio.
Current Situation of Gila’s Contract
According to reports from LaLazioSiamoNoi, Gila’s contract with Lazio runs through June 2027, but discussions regarding a renewal seem unlikely. This situation has prompted Lazio’s sporting director, Igli Tare, to explore an immediate transfer to Milan.
Negotiations and Financial Details
- The Biancocelesti are seeking €16 million for Gila.
- Milan’s current offer stands at €11 million.
- A gap remains, yet discussions are progressing.
A pivotal meeting took place before Lazio’s match against Como, where Furlani and president Claudio Lotito deliberated on potential figures. If a transfer occurs, Lazio is obligated to pay Real Madrid 50% of the final sale price, due to a retained percentage from Gila’s previous transfer.
Future Prospects
Igli Tare has been instrumental in Gila’s career, initially bringing him to Lazio. Now, he could facilitate another significant transfer, this time to Milan. Alessandro Jacobone notes that Tare is diligently working to outpace rival clubs interested in the young defender.
The Rossoneri are eager to finalize the deal as soon as possible, regardless of whether Gila arrives in January or later in June. Milan’s pursuit of Gila exemplifies their commitment to strengthening their squad for the ongoing season.
