Lazio are close to reaching a total agreement for Real Madrid prospect Mario Gila, with only one final detail needing to be resolved.
The Biancocelesti have been in talks with the Spanish side for a few weeks now, keen to pick up the 21-year-old Spanish centre back. He impressed last season on loan for the Castilla squad and seems ready to make the jump to regular first team football now.
More Stories / Lazio Transfer NewsAs reported by Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Lazio are set to sign Mario Gila on a loan deal with a €5 million buy option attached. The only remaining detail now is an agreement on the future resale clause.
Real Madrid want this clause to be 50% but Lazio would prefer it to be 25%. Talks between the two clubs are ongoing and it’s hard to imagine this obstacle causing a breakdown in negotiations at this stage.
The Roman club are hoping to fully finalise the deal ahead of the upcoming pre-season training camp.
