He is then ready to sign a five-year contract worth €5m net per season, while his agent is expected to pocket €5m in commission.
Lazio are only getting 50 per cent of the €30m fee, thanks to the arrangement they had agreed with Real Madrid when buying the defender for just €6m in 2022.
As part of the deal, La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Milan will also buy Lazio youth team left-back Lorenzo Calvani for €2.5m.
This is €30m for the total, specifically €27m plus some easy to achieve add-ons.

What happened
Milan have reached a €30 million agreement with Lazio to sign Spanish centre-back Mario Gila. The 25-year-old is set to travel to Milan to complete his medical ahead of the transfer. Gila has been a regular starter for Lazio in recent seasons and would provide defensive reinforcement for Milan. The deal represents one of the significant defensive signings of the Italian summer transfer window.
Chance analysis
Gila's arrival would strengthen Milan's defensive options, addressing a position that has been a concern. For Lazio, losing a starting centre-back is a significant blow, requiring a replacement. The €30m fee is substantial for an Italian domestic transfer and signals Milan's intent to compete domestically and in Europe. Defensively, Gila offers aerial presence and positional discipline, fitting a traditional Italian defensive profile.
Milan gain a reliable starting centre-back; Lazio lose a key defender and face a transitional period in defense.
Milan's defensive solidity may improve once Gila is integrated; Lazio's backline weakens pending a replacement.
