Mario Gila has shared his first words after being officially announced as a new signing by AC Milan this evening.
It was well documented that Milan wanted a new central defender heading into the summer, and they moved quickly to secure Gila who was being linked with the likes of Atalanta, Napoli and Inter. They will pay €30m (bonuses included) to land him from Lazio.

In doing so, the Rossoneri are securing one of the most impressive players in Serie A in his position. In our latest bonus podcast we did a deep-dive on what Gila will offer in terms of strengths, weaknesses and from a data standpoint.
As he left Casa Milan after signing the contract that will bind him to Milan until 2031, Gila shared some words to the Sky cameras that were gathered outside. MilanNews relayed what he had to say.
Mario, how do you feel?
“I’m very happy.”
Milan placed a strong bet on you…
“Yes, I have to repay them.”
What do you expect from this adventure?
“To do so many good things. With the team we have, we will do them.”
Have you spoken to Amorim?
“Yes, I spoke to him and I’m very happy to share the dressing room with him.”
Want to say hello to the fans?
“A very heartfelt hello, forza Milan. Let’s go with everything this year.”
Another strikers goal by Charles De Ketelaere. Pioli wouldn’t know what football is if it hit him in the face.
Move on dude, its been 3 years… Also, check his output this season
10% of the satisfaction of this signing comes from nabbing him from under the noses of inter and Napoli when we’re supposedly in crisis and don’t even have CL football next season…
I personally think the owner just got involved and said enough is enough.
Happy is here at Milan. Wonder if he will get a proper national team call up, but Spain has a ridiculously huge pool of defensive talent.
