Fabrizio Romano spoke like this in a video on his YouTube channel about the negotiations between Milan and Lazio for Mario Gila:
"Milan and Gila have already reached an agreement for a five-year contract worth just over 5 million per season. Now the negotiation with Lazio needs to be unlocked, and Milan want to do it as quickly as possible. Napoli had also reached an agreement with the Spaniard in June, but due to the large number of players in their squad and the lack of suitable arrangements with Lotito, De Laurentiis’s club had to slow down. As a result, other teams such as Atalanta got involved, although Atalanta were never really close to Gila because the player was waiting for different opportunities. Now Milan want to prevent other clubs from getting involved, which is why they hope to close the deal already next week."
"Let’s not forget that 50% will go to Real Madrid, so Lotito is making significant demands. Lazio’s position is: we prefer to keep Gila and lose him on a free transfer in a year, while benefiting from his qualities for another season, rather than sell him, for example for the 15 million that was mentioned a month ago for Napoli. It should also be said that Gila wants to leave, he is pushing to go, and he already has an agreement with Milan, who want to close as soon as possible."
"There is a red-and-black thread linking the operations involving Gonçalo Ramos and Mario Gila, namely Ruben Amorim. The newly appointed Milan coach called the Spanish defender, just as he had spoken frequently with the Portuguese striker during negotiations with PSG. So Amorim is very present in Milan’s transfer market affairs; it is something he enjoys doing a lot and will continue to do in the coming weeks," as relayed via Milan News.
