Mario Gila and Real Madrid: This Is the Situation for His Return to Santiago Bernabéu

The former player of the white team is emerging as another option to be considered by the white executives

The International Break Is a Time for Debate and Reflection at the Valdebebas Offices. Not only because of the future of some players already in Santiago Bernabéu locker room like Luka Modric or Lucas Vázquez, but also because of the pending signings for the summer. One of those additions, more than necessary at this point in the season, would be the arrival of a center-back.

Real Madrid Would Have Acted Accordingly, taking advantage of the international break matches in March to add several names to a debate that is not easily solved on its own. In addition to footballers like Jorrel Hato or Dean Huijsen, the latter consolidated after his first minutes as a full international with Spain, another center-back reappears... this time it's a player trained in La Fábrica who is making a career in Italy.

It's Not the First Time Mario Gila Enters Real Madrid's Orbit as part of his return to the white sports discipline. This Promising Center-Back Left Valdebebas with Barely Any Minutes with the First Team and, since his arrival at SSC Napoli, he has grown significantly to become a key starter for the team. Antonio Conte Fully Trusts the Spanish footballer.

His Evolution Has Caught the Attention of the White Executives, who have made a decision regarding his possible return to the club where he was trained in soccer. According to the information handled by MARCA, Real Madrid would be interested in Mario Gila as long as SSC Napoli decides to place the player in the upcoming transfer markets.

Some Doubts

Otherwise, the Executives Led by Florentino Pérez Will Seek Reinforcements to Expand the Axis of the First Team's Defense in Other Teams. Although Real Madrid would have decided to keep Mario Gila as a less prioritized option than Dean Huijsen or William Saliba, he is not a name fully discarded from the current situation.

Because Real Madrid, according to the reports from MARCA, still retains the possibility of getting involved in Mario Gila's departure. If SSC Napoli Decided to Sell Mario Gila to Another Club, the White Executives Could Intervene in the Operation thanks to the transfer agreement originally signed in the summer of 2022.

As It Stands, Mario Gila Remains a Second-Line Signing for Real Madrid. The white executives will not actively seek his signing, but they will not hesitate to attempt his signing as long as the opportunity presents itself in the upcoming summer markets. The focus, meanwhile, will be on other more notable footballers for the European soccer elite.

The Consolidation of Dean Huijsen as a Target to expand the center-back position considerably complicates the debate in the Valdebebas offices. Because the Spanish defender joins William Saliba, whose signing would be much more expensive, as the two priorities and urgencies for Real Madrid to expand their resources in that position.
