Mario Gila requests transfer from Lazio amid Napoli interest

Lazio defender Mario Gila has asked to leave the club as he attracts attention from Napoli. Lazio is undergoing a defensive overhaul, with expected departures including Alessio Romagnoli to Al-Sadd and Ivan Provedel pursuing a move to Inter Milan. With Gila's contract set to expire in 2027, this summer presents a crucial opportunity for Lazio to capitalize on his transfer. Reports indicate that Napoli is currently the leading candidate to acquire Gila, who has reiterated his desire to depart, despite some uncertainty regarding club management's response and the role of new head coach Gennaro Gattuso. Real Madrid could receive a share of the transfer fee due to a sell-on clause, impacting Lazio's potential earnings from Gila's sale.
