Lazio: Mario Gila's future hangs in the balance

Lazio would prefer that he leave Italy if Gila's future no longer lies with the club. At Formello they are paying close attention to rumours coming from abroad.

Some Spanish media outlets suggest Real Madrid could invoke their buy-back clause to secure a substantial discount on the price, and the other Madrid side, Atlético, are also said to be interested in the player.

In the Premier League, attention is turning to Chelsea, as well as several other clubs not necessarily top-tier but nonetheless with substantial financial resources.

Gila's plan, should he leave Lazio, is to move to a higher-level league and perhaps play in the Champions League on a regular basis, so it is reasonable to expect he will be one of the hottest names on the transfer market from the very first weeks of the summer window.
