Lazio reluctant to sell Mario Gila amid interest from Napoli and Milan

Summary

Lazio are poised to let Mario Gila run down his contract rather than accept a low transfer fee this summer. The Spanish center-back has drawn significant interest from Napoli and Milan, with Napoli viewing him as a key defensive target under new manager Massimiliano Allegri. Gila's contract expires in June 2027, and Lazio have expressed their unwillingness to negotiate under pressure. Napoli's potential participation in the Champions League adds appeal for Gila, who has yet to compete in the tournament. Milan's pursuit has lost momentum following a leadership change.
