Chelsea has already defined its new target to reinforce its defense in the summer transfer market: Mario Gila. The 24-year-old Spanish center-back, currently at Lazio, is emerging as the top choice for the London team after their main candidate, Dean Huijsen, is on the verge of committing to Real Madrid. At Stamford Bridge, they do not want to wait any longer, and the name of the former Real Madrid academy player has gained momentum in the Blues' sports planning.

Gila's situation has changed drastically since he left Valdebebas in 2022. In just two seasons, he has managed to establish himself in the demanding Serie A, playing nearly 100 games with the Roman team and demonstrating notable defensive reliability. His good performances have attracted interest from several European giants, including Inter Milan, who are also closely monitoring his progress.

Chelsea is interested in Mario Gila

Chelsea, with various uncertainties in their defensive line – such as doubts about the futures of Chalobah, Badiashile, or the fitness of Fofana – has placed Gila on their radar as a reliable option. Lazio has set his price tag at 30 million euros, a sum that is not an insurmountable obstacle for the English club's economic power.

While Huijsen gets ready to wear white, contacts have already begun in London with the circle of the Catalan defender. Gila, who has progressed through playing time in Italy, could be facing a significant career opportunity: landing in the Premier League as a key reinforcement for a Chelsea side looking to compete at the highest level again.
