The defender is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy and was sold to Lazio for just €6m in the summer of 2022.

As part of that arrangement, the Merengues retained a 50 per cent cut of the future sale fee, which is now coming back to them.

New Serie A adventure for Gila

Gila turns 26 next month and had also been in talks with Napoli, Juventus and Atalanta, but preferred the project put forward to him by the Rossoneri and their new coach Ruben Amorim.

Multiple sources report the cost of the operation was €25m plus €5m in add-ons, while the player has put pen to paper on a five-year contract.

His salary at San Siro is believed to be worth €5m per season net and he will wear the Number 34 jersey.

Gila’s contract with Lazio was running down at the end of this season, so a departure was inevitable after 120 competitive appearances for the club.

The centre-back flew in last night and underwent all his medical tests in Milan today.
