However, the player is not convinced even with the opportunity to reunite with former Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri, as he has his eyes on a bigger club.
Following the Tuttomercatoweb report last night, Sky Sport Italia also confirmed that Milan had contacted Gila’s agent and made a strong push for his signature.
Napoli have been the favourites for some time, but they need to make a sale first and their market is somewhat stuck right now.
Juventus are also keeping a close eye on the situation, although their preferred candidate would be Jhon Lucumi of Bologna at roughly €28m.
Inter too are not out of the running entirely, but seem to have other priorities right now.

What happened
Atalanta defender Gila is said to be weighing his options at the club, with uncertainty over his long-term role prompting interest from several top Italian sides. AC Milan, Napoli, and Juventus are all tracking the situation and could move in the upcoming window. The development adds Gila to a growing list of Atalanta players attracting elite Serie A suitors, potentially complicating Atalanta's defensive planning. No official bid has been reported, with the story currently sitting in the rumour stage.
Chance analysis
Uncertainty at Atalanta over a key defender with three top-half Serie A clubs circling is a meaningful market signal. For Atalanta, losing Gila would weaken their defensive depth; for Milan, Napoli, or Juventus, acquiring him would provide a rotation or starting upgrade depending on need. The lack of confirmed fee or bid keeps this in the speculation tier, but the multi-club interest elevates the likelihood of movement.
Atalanta face potential defensive reshuffle if Gila departs, while Milan, Napoli, and Juventus could each benefit from acquiring a rotation-ready defender.
Treat Gila's availability as a fluid variable; if he leaves Atalanta, factor reduced defensive stability for Atalanta and potential squad boost for whichever Serie A rival signs him.
