Gerry Cardinale, the owner of Milan, has reportedly given his approval for the club’s summer transfer strategy. A key part of these plans includes the potential acquisition of Lazio defender Mario Gila.
Milan aims to enhance its squad with quality additions to bolster a team likely to compete in the Champions League next season. According to reports, the Rossoneri’s top priority in defense is Lazio’s Spanish center-back, Gila, whose contract with the Biancocelesti runs until 2027.
It’s understood that Inter, Juventus, and Napoli are also showing interest in the Spanish defender, who is not expected to extend his contract with Lazio. These rival clubs have reportedly already explored Gila’s availability through his representatives.
Milan values the 25-year-old player in the range of €20 million to €25 million. Coach Massimiliano Allegri has marked Gila as a key defensive target, and Cardinale has empowered the club’s directors to pursue the coach’s transfer requests. These also extend to acquiring a versatile winger capable of playing on either flank and a striker.
As alternatives to Gila, Udinese’s Thomas Kristensen is being considered. Bayern Munich’s Kim, a former Napoli standout, is seen as a less attainable option due to his high transfer fee.
Milan’s Latest Transfer Updates
Milan is actively planning to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season, with Champions League participation anticipated. The club’s strategic transfer objectives have received the backing of owner Gerry Cardinale.
Potential Defensive Reinforcement: Mario Gila
Lazio’s center-back, Mario Gila, has emerged as Milan’s primary defensive target. The Spanish defender’s current contract with Lazio is set to expire in 2027. While Gila is also attracting interest from fellow Serie A giants Inter, Juventus, and Napoli, his contract situation with Lazio suggests a potential move is feasible.
Valuation and Competition
Milan’s valuation of the 25-year-old defender is estimated between €20 million and €25 million. The pursuit of Gila is part of Coach Allegri’s desire to bolster the defense, with Cardinale’s authorization allowing the club to proceed with negotiations.
Additional Transfer Targets
Beyond a central defender, Milan is also looking to sign a winger and a striker. In the defensive department, Udinese’s Thomas Kristensen is being considered as a backup option if the move for Gila proves difficult. Bayern Munich’s Kim is also on the radar but is considered a less practical target due to financial considerations.

Cardinale approva i piani di mercato del Milan, inclusa la mossa per Gila
Secondo La Gazzetta dello Sport, il proprietario del Milan Gerry Cardinale ha approvato i piani di mercato estivi, inclusa la mossa per ingaggiare il difensore della Lazio Mario Gila.
Il Milan cercherà di rafforzare la propria squadra, aggiungendo qualità e profondità a un gruppo che probabilmente giocherà in Champions League la prossima stagione.
Secondo la Gazzetta dello Sport, il principale obiettivo del Milan in difesa è il centrale della Lazio Gila, che ha un contratto con i biancocelesti fino al 2027.
La Gazzetta afferma che anche Inter, Juventus e Napoli sono interessate al centrale spagnolo, che difficilmente prolungherà con i biancocelesti.
Secondo il rapporto, i rivali rossoneri hanno già sondato la disponibilità del difensore tramite i suoi rappresentanti, mentre il Milan valuta il 25enne tra i 20 e i 25 milioni di euro.
L’allenatore Massimiliano Allegri ha già identificato Gila come un’opzione primaria in difesa, e Cardinale ha autorizzato i direttori del club a iniziare il lavoro per soddisfare le richieste di mercato dell’allenatore, che includono anche un esterno che possa essere impiegato su entrambe le fasce e un attaccante.
La Gazzetta aggiunge che Thomas Kristensen dell’Udinese è visto come una possibile alternativa a Gila, mentre Kim del Bayern Monaco, ex stella del Napoli, appare meno fattibile a causa degli alti costi.
