The surprise return that Real Madrid is working on for the summer

Real Madrid has started considering an unexpected alternative to reinforce its defense this summer: Mario Gila. The Spanish defender, currently at Lazio, has reappeared on the radar of the merengue club, especially after complications arose in the negotiations for Dean Huijsen, the young center-back from Bournemouth who seemed to be the main target of the white sports management.

Until recently, the planning did not include the addition of a defender, but circumstances have changed. Gila's performance in Italy has been convincing enough to rekindle the club's interest in a player familiar with the club. His time in Real Madrid's youth teams and subsequent growth in Serie A have given him the profile of a versatile and competitive defender who could fit into Ancelotti's system.

At 24 years old, he has established himself in Italian football, with standout performances that have even brought him into the orbit of the Spanish national team. His speed and ability to play in various defensive positions provide added value appreciated in Valdebebas, especially considering versatility as a key virtue in the squad.

Furthermore, Real Madrid still holds 50% of any future sale of the player, which facilitates any potential return operation. That financial advantage, combined with the need to avoid substantial expenses if Huijsen's arrival becomes complicated, makes Gila's option gain relevance within the white offices.

Currently, the club continues to assess whether his return is truly necessary, but the name Mario Gila resurfaces strongly on the Madrid agenda.
