Real Madrid could bring back their former defender from the Serie A club

Real Madrid are preparing for a high-profile transfer window in the summer. The likely signings of Kylian Mbappé and Alphonso Davies will not satisfy all of Carlo Ancelotti's needs, as he may also need a centre-back. And Los Blancos have found such a centre-back among their own youngsters, who were once released on loan.

The potential purchase of a centre-back will depend on the future of Nacho Fernandez, and if he leaves Real, then, according to Estadio Deportivo, he could be replaced by Lazio defender Mario Gila, who only left the Spanish capital two years ago.

When the 23-year-old was signed for six million euros in the summer of 2022, the clubs agreed a buy-back clause, which Real could take advantage of. Gila has been firmly embedded in the main squad at the Lazio camp in recent times, but such an offer could be quite tempting for him.
