AC Milan sign defender Mario Gila from Lazio for €30 million

Spanish centre‑back Mario Gila has completed a permanent move from SS Lazio to AC Milan. The deal is reported to be worth around €30 million, including bonuses, with a five‑year contract and a salary of roughly €4.5 million net per season. A sell‑on clause activates, sending 50 % of the profit on the transfer back to Real Madrid – €12 million – leaving Lazio with an estimated net receipt of €18 million after deducting the €6 million it originally paid for Gila in 2022.

The signing forms part of Milan’s aggressive summer spending, which already exceeds €100 million after the acquisition of Portuguese striker Gonçalo Ramos. The club, now under coach Ruben Amorim, is using the funds to strengthen the defence and pursue further targets, while also managing the departure of other players such as Rafael Leão. Gila’s arrival is expected to improve Milan’s back‑line and is linked to broader market activity, including interest from other Serie A sides like Lecce.

Overall, the transfer reflects Milan’s strategic push to rebuild the squad ahead of the new season and provides Lazio with significant financial resources for future signings.
