Mario Gila confirms himself at Lazio under the scrutiny of Real Madrid and Italy's top clubs
Mario Gila moved from Real Madrid to Lazio in 2022 with a low profile. At the Bernabeu, they recognised him as part of a promising central defensive project, but his performances this season have surprised both insiders and outsiders. He is establishing himself in Italy as one of the best defenders in Serie A, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he commands a multi-million transfer next summer – suitors are in abundance.
According to transfer specialist website Transfermarkt, his market value has risen from €500,000 to €28 million since he left Valdebebas. Sources consulted by Relevo claim that, in the event of a transfer, a fee of €35 million would not be unexpected. Not surprisingly, at his age he is already the leader of Lazio's defence. This season, he has featured in 27 matches across all competitions.
