Overview
- The transfer was completed on Friday, July 10, when Mario Gila underwent medicals in Milan and signed a five‑year contract running to June 2031 with the number 34 shirt.
- Clubs reported the package as €25m up front plus €5m in add‑ons, a structure commonly described as a €30m operation.
- Real Madrid hold a 50% sell‑on entitlement from Gila’s 2022 move to Lazio and will receive roughly half of the relevant proceeds, with published estimates of the Madrid payout varying between about €10m and €15m depending on how the clause is calculated.
- Gila publicly praised Milan’s project, said he hopes to reach his full potential there, and issued an emotional farewell to Lazio fans after making 120 appearances for the club.
- The deal strengthens Rúben Amorim’s defensive rebuild at Milan, reduces Lazio’s net income from the sale and leaves room for follow‑up business such as reported minor add‑ons, agent commission and a potential youth signing of Lorenzo Calvani.
