Inter Milan finalize his signing: Real Madrid no longer counted on him

The dilemma regarding center-backs at Real Madrid still hasn't been solved. Although Florentino and his team have already made Huijsen's signing official, one of Xabi Alonso's priorities, there's still work ahead. This is shown by the numerous rumors linking different defenders to the club.

One of the latest names to emerge at Valdebebas is a former La Fábrica player: Mario Gila. The former number "4" of Castilla left three seasons ago for Lazio, where he hadn't had much prominence until now. However, the injury of one of the starting center-backs led Baroni to trust him as a starter, and the defender is performing at a high level in Serie A.

Inter show interest and Real Madrid won't be able to oppose

The sporting management at Real Madrid don't consider Mario Gila as an option to strengthen the defense after the addition of Dean Huijsen. In this context, proposals like the one presented by Inter Milan are gaining more and more traction.

Real Madrid haven't completely severed ties with Mario Gila, since they keep 50% of his rights. According to "Tuttomercatoweb", Inter Milan see his signing as a valid option to reinforce the defense. His arrival could be facilitated by the fact that he shares an agent with Lautaro Martínez, the main figure at the Italian club.

Mario Gila, the option Inter Milan are considering

According to the Italian outlet, Inter Milan's candidacy isn't the only one for Mario Gila. Brighton and Bournemouth, two Premier League teams looking for center-backs, also have him on their list. However, there haven't been any developments, leaving the Italian side as the main candidate.

This possible move depends on Real Madrid's decision regarding Mario Gila, whether they'll exercise their buy-back right or not. If they don't choose that route, Inter Milan wouldn't hesitate to negotiate a transfer that fits Simone Inzaghi's plans for next season. Without a doubt, everything is open ahead of the next transfer window.
