AC Milan and Inter Milan are reportedly going head-to-head in the race to sign Lazio center-back Mario Gila.
According to Matteo Moretto via FCInterNews, the Rossoneri are keen to challenge their San Siro rivals for the Spaniard’s signature.
One way or another, Mario Gila will leave Lazio in the next 16 months. Indeed, his contract at the Stadio Olimpico runs out in 2027.
Meanwhile, Inter and Milan are hoping to sign him in a cut-price deal in the summer.
However, Lazio president Claudio Lotito is reportedly willing to accept the risk of losing the 25-year-old on a free transfer next year.
Indeed, the Biancocelesti could hold onto the former Real Madrid star even if he declines a new contract.

Massimiliano Allegri is keen to reinforce his defensive options at the end of the season.
Indeed, the Rossoneri could part ways with Fikayo Tomori, and they want Gila to take his place.
Therefore, they’ve already held exploratory talks with the player’s representatives to discuss a potential summer transfer.
On the other hand, Inter remain firmly in the race for Gila, as they aim to replace outgoing duo Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi.
