Milan are back in the Mario Gila race with Napoli, Atalanta and Inter
According to the report, AC Milan have re-entered the race for Lazio defender Mario Gila who is also wanted by Napoli, Atalanta and Inter; asking price in excess of €20M.
AC Milan have re-entered the competition for Mario Gila, according to reports, intensifying the current interest that Napoli, Atalanta and Inter are also doing.
Sources say Lazio are demanding more than €20 million for the centre-back. It is clear that Gila's possible departure is imminent as his contract expires next summer and there have been no talks for a contract extension.
Although an exit seems inevitable, Lazio are still pushing for a high price—especially since they still have a portion to pay Real Madrid from the transaction when Gila moves in 2022 for €6M.

But, Tuttomercatoweb reports that Milan have rekindled their interest in Gila; this is not an entirely new attempt, but a revitalized pursuit.
There's also a complication for Napoli — they can't buy Gila until they sell another player. Atalanta are also in the race, which could give Gila a chance to work again under former Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri, while Inter are known to be looking for a defence.
Mario Gila turns 26 next month, and the battle for his services remains open as the summer approaches and the possibility of becoming a free agent approaches.
