Mario Gila, 24 years old, is becoming one of the most outstanding central defenders in Serie A thanks to his excellent performance at Lazio. After joining the Roman team in 2022 for six million euros, representing half of his economic rights, the defender has undergone a remarkable adaptation process that now has him as a key player in his team. His performance has not gone unnoticed by the sports management of Real Madrid, which considers him a very interesting option to reinforce their defense next summer.

In his second season with Lazio, Gila has established himself as an undisputed starter under the guidance of Marco Baroni, who values his defensive solidity and leadership ability in the backline. With over 1,200 minutes played in this Serie A campaign and a streak of 13 consecutive games as a starter, his importance is evident. In the recent match against Inter, his premature exit due to physical problems exposed the team, which suffered a 0-6 defeat in his absence.

Gila's progression is also reflected in his market value. According to Transfermarkt, the center-back has seen his value rise from 18 to 28 million euros, establishing himself as the most valuable Spanish player in Italian football. This rise has not gone unnoticed by Real Madrid, a club with defensive urgencies due to the lack of specialized players and the prolonged injuries of key players like David Alaba.

With a promise to strengthen their squad next summer, Mario Gila emerges as an ideal option. His background in the Real Madrid academy and the fact that Madrid would only need to pay half of his current value make him a very attractive candidate to return to the Santiago Bernabéu.
