Mario Gila appears likely to leave Lazio in the summer transfer window. Aston Villa may now need to hurry, if they want to land the centre-back.

The Rome side have faced significant financial difficulty over the past 12 months. They were handed a transfer ban last summer and were then forced to sell Matteo Guendouzi and Taty Castellanos.

Gila could now be the next key player to depart for a fee that hands Lazio a capital profit.

Sport Witness have covered TuttoSport’s claims about Aston Villa’s interest in the defender. Now, Unai Emery’s side might end up struggling in a possible move.

AC Milan trying to rush ahead

Calciomercato report on the Spaniard’s situation, making it clear that AC Milan are trying their best to push ahead of the competition.

The outlet mention interest from Aston Villa but the Rossoneri scouted Mario Gila at the weekend. He started for Lazio in their game against Bologna, playing a part in their 2-0 win away from home.

This seems to have convinced Max Allegri’s side, who are now aiming to make a formal offer for the 25-year-old. There is also interest from Inter Milan but all things point to Gila...
