In recent times, following Mbappé's signing by Real Madrid, the relationship with PSG has plummeted. However, with almost a year having passed since this move, it seems that in France they're willing to move on. At least, this is what "La Gazzetta dello Sport" has discovered, reporting on the Parisian club's interest in a footballer who could bring a lot of money to Madrid: Mario Gila.
With Marquinhos's future in Paris hanging in the air, their idea this summer is to strengthen their defensive line. The chosen one would be none other than Mario Gila, a product of Real Madrid who now plays for Lazio. In 2022, he left Castilla to head to Italy for 6 million euros, with the Madrid club keeping the right to receive 50% of a potential future sale.
The desired sale would come three years later, with PSG willing to pay 54.7 million USD (50 million euros) for the Spanish center-back. Mario Gila seems ready for a change of scenery and would welcome the chance to play in France. Of these 54.7 million USD (50 million euros), half would go to Madrid's coffers, which would be filled with 27.3 million USD (25 million euros), allowing them to make other important moves in the market.
Mario Gila, talent developed at Real Madrid
Mario Gila has established himself this season as one of the Spanish center-backs with the greatest potential in European soccer. At 24 years old, Lazio's defender has had a brilliant campaign in Italy, playing 43 official matches and scoring 2 goals. His performance has been as consistent as it has been outstanding, which has put him on the radar of several major clubs... In the orbit of the Spanish national team led by Luis de la Fuente.
Trained in the youth academy of Real Madrid, Gila has developed in Serie A to become a reliable center-back, quick to intercept, strong in the air, and with good ball distribution. In addition, his tactical maturity and leadership at the back have been key to Lazio's strong defensive performance throughout the season.
Mario Gila feels that he's ready to take the next step in his career. His goal is clear: to be drafted to Spain's senior team. With consistency, international experience, and a high competitive level, the center-back hopes to make the most of his great moment to make the definitive leap to the highest level.
