Agent Sheds Light on Lazio Defender’s Future Amidst Bournemouth Interest | OneFootball

The agent of Mario Gila insists that his client is set to stay at Lazio despite being linked with several clubs in Italy and abroad.

But despite his great importance to the cause, the Spaniard remains one of the lowest earners in the squad, with a yearly salary of €500,000. While the hierarchy was expected to adjust his wages and push back the deadline, the negotiations stalled in recent months, and a renewal has become impossible at this stage due to the transfer ban.

In the meantime, several suitors have shown interest in Gila as of late, including Bournemouth who recently sold Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid and are still seeking a replacement. In addition to the Cherries, the likes of Inter Milan and AC Milan have also been tabs on the Spanish international.
