Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Lazio defender, Mario Gila, at the end of the season.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, they will have to compete with clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG for the highly rated defender. It is no surprise that Real Madrid are keen on the player. They will need to find long-term alternatives to Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba. Gila is a former Real Madrid player, and bringing him back to the club could be a wise decision.
The 24-year-old has been a key player for Lazio, and his performances have attracted the attention of the London club as well. Tottenham could certainly use defensive reinforcements in the summer and Gila could prove to be a long-term acquisition. The 24-year-old has proven himself in Italian football, and he has the ability to do well in the Premier League as well.
Mario Gila to replace Cristian Romero?
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has been linked with Real Madrid, and the player has recently voiced his desire to move to La Liga. If he ends up leaving in the summer, Tottenham will have to bring in a quality replacement. The 24-year-old Lazio defender could fill the void left by the South American. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done.
The pursuit of the 24-year-old defender will be quite straightforward for Tottenham and they can sign him if they agree to pay the asking price for the defender. Lazio are willing to let him leave for a fee of around €40-45 million (£34-38 million). It is fair to assume that Tottenham have the resources to get the deal done and remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The Spanish defender is a man in demand this summer, and Tottenham must act quickly if they want to secure his signature. The 24-year-old could be attracted to the idea of playing for Tottenham next season. It would be a step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself in English football.
