The Situation Real Madrid Faces with a Youth Academy Player Desired by PSG and Manchester City

Throughout recent seasons, Real Madrid's youth academy has developed several players who are standing out in Europe. While Raúl Asencio has established himself in the first team, Real Madrid has seen the departure of several of its academy graduates. However, for the next season, Real Madrid is interested in the return of one of them.

Looking to strengthen their defense, Real Madrid has shown interest in the return of Mario Gila. His great performances at Lazio have established him as a solid center-back; therefore, the Italians have valued him at 50 million euros. An amount that Real Madrid will seek to reduce to finalize the return of their academy graduate.

Given Gila's talent explosion, Real Madrid sees him as a very viable option to strengthen their defense. Even so, with the interest from PSG and Manchester City, Real Madrid will not prevent his move to another club if that is his desire.

Another Real Madrid Academy Graduate

It seems that Real Madrid has acquired a special interest in the return of some of their most outstanding academy graduates. Miguel Gutiérrez, Nico Paz, and now Mario Gila are the academy graduates linked to a return to Valdebebas. In the case of the center-back, he is the closest due to the defensive needs throughout this season.

Injuries and the poor performance of some center-backs have severely affected the defense during several matches. It is because of this that, given Gila's 24 years and his experience, Real Madrid is more than interested in his return.

Having 50% of his rights could facilitate Real Madrid's intentions, as they seek this signing for a reduced value. However, a move to PSG or City would provide Real Madrid with several benefits that they could use during the next market.

The PSG and City Factor

The resolution of this situation now depends on the decision Mario Gila makes at the end of the current season. With PSG, City, and, of course, Real Madrid, his destiny is in his own hands.
