Bournemouth have made an enquiry about signing Lazio defender Mario Gila, according to Sky Sports.
The club are in the market for a new centre-back following the departure of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain are pushing hard to sign Illya Zabarnyi, who is one of Bournemouth’s key defenders.
Manager Andoni Iraola is keen to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign.
Bringing in a reliable defender is a top priority for the Cherries, and Gila is a strong option who would add quality to the backline.
Gila would be a superb signing for Bournemouth
Gila is currently one of the most trusted players in Lazio’s defence. He made 43 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A side this season.
The former Real Madrid defender is known for his speed, sharp defensive instincts, and calmness on the ball.
He can play as a central defender and at right-back when needed. He is comfortable carrying the ball out from the back and linking up with midfielders.
His style of play includes strong one-on-one marking, quick recoveries, and a good reading of the game. He is also not afraid to push up into midfield areas when the team is in control.
Bournemouth believe Gila could be a valuable signing. He fits the profile of a modern defender who can adapt to the Premier League’s demands.
No deal has been agreed yet, but talks are expected to continue in the coming weeks. If Bournemouth are able to land the Spaniard, it would be a major boost to their defensive options.
