AC Milan Planning to Buy Promising Lazio Teenager Alongside Mario Gila | OneFootball

AC Milan are sprinting to strike an agreement with Lazio for Mario Gila, but they’re also interested in acquiring the young Lorenzo Calvani.

The Background

Over the past few weeks, Napoli and Atalanta were embroiled in a tug-of-war for Gila. But in recent days, Milan has routed the competition with a comprehensive offer. The Rossoneri already agreed personal terms with the Spanish centre-back after offering him a yearly salary of almost €5 million, and they’re now set to negotiate a deal with Lazio.

Milan & Lazio to Launch Talks for Mario Gila

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the defender’s agent, Alejandro Camano, arrived in Rome on Monday to mediate between the two clubs. Lazio have set their asking price at €30 million, as they must share their profit with Real Madrid, who have a 50% sell-on fee. Milan are confident they can reach an accord by offering €25 million plus €5 million in bonuses.

This proposal should be enough to satisfy Claudio Lotito. After all, Alfredo Pedulla insists that the Lazio patron had already accepeted a lower offer from Atalanta, who put €22m plus €3m on the table. However, the Orobici made a fatal mistake by opening talks with the Biancocelesti management without securing a deal with the player and his entourage.

Milan Also Planning to Buy Lorenzo Calvani from Lazio

In addition to Gila, Tuttosport (via MilanNews) claims that the two clubs will also discuss Calvani, an 18-year-old left-back who plays for Lazio’s Primavera squad. Milan have been eyeing a move for the Latina native long before launching their onslaught for Gila. The plan is to add the teenager to their second team (Milan Futuro), who play in Serie D.
