Blues See Spanish Defender as Key to Solving Backline Woes After Initial Bid Rejected
Chelsea have set their sights on Lazio’s rising star Mario Gila as they look to bolster their defense this summer. The 24-year-old Spaniard has impressed in Serie A, catching the attention of the Blues, who have already tested the waters with a €35 million bid—only to see it swiftly turned down.
According to Il Messaggero, Lazio are holding firm, valuing their defender at around €50 million. With Chelsea’s backline looking shaky last season, the pursuit of Gila signals a clear intent to shore up their defense ahead of a crucial Champions League return. Known for his composure, physicality, and technical ability, the former Real Madrid prospect could be an ideal fit for the Premier League’s demands.
For Gila, the move represents a chance to step onto one of football’s biggest stages. Chelsea’s trophy ambitions, coupled with their elite squad and manager, make them an enticing destination. The defender, now entering his prime, is eager to compete at the highest level—something the Blues can offer.
With financial muscle on their side, Chelsea could yet meet Lazio’s asking price. But as negotiations loom, the question remains: Will the Italian club soften their stance, or will the Blues have to dig deeper to secure their man? One thing is certain—this transfer saga is just heating up.
