Napoli push for Lazio defender Mario Gila, consider Lucca swap

Napoli have reached a verbal agreement with Lazio defender Mario Gila and are preparing a five‑year contract. The club’s offer is reported at around €15‑30 million, but Lazio’s contract includes a 50 % future‑sale clause to Real Madrid, which reduces the net amount Lazio would receive. To bridge the valuation gap, Napoli are exploring a player‑exchange, offering striker Lorenzo Lucca as part of the deal. Sports director Giovanni Manna and incoming coach Massimiliano Allegri are leading the negotiations, which remain ongoing as both clubs seek a financially viable arrangement.
