The AC Milan management are planning for the next summer transfer window already and have Lazio defender Mario Gila on their list, according to a report.
As MilanLive report, the present situation is that Davide Calabria and Alessandro Florenzi are both set to leave the club because their contracts expire next June. That would mean two right-backs leaving, and thus at least one replacement would be needed.
However, contacts are underway over Calabria’s renewal. The 27-year-old would like to stay and, through his agent, has asked to go from his current salary of €2m net per season to €2.5m. The management have postponed things for the time being, waiting for more consistent performances.
Furthermore, the departure of one of either Malick Thiaw or Fikayo Tomori is possible. Both central defenders continue to have several admirers in the Premier League (Newcastle United above all).
This is why Mario Gila’s name has been circled by Milan, a player who has become an immovable starter at Lazio under Marco Baroni. He has made eight appearances for a total of 553 minutes, having missed three games due to injury.
The 24-year-old has generally been used as a central defender, however he can also fill in at right-back. The Spaniard signed for the Biancocelesti from Real Madrid in 2022, and is under contract until 2027.
