AC Milan Agree €30m Package With Lazio to Sign Mario Gila
A fixed fee with bonuses plus a 50% sell-on clause gives Real Madrid a large share of the transfer proceeds.
Overview
- Reports from multiple Italian outlets say Milan and Lazio reached agreement on a deal worth about €30m with bonuses, with confirmations emerging on Tuesday.
- Lazio initially rejected Milan’s opening offer and held out for roughly €30m because half of any sale is owed to Real Madrid under Gila’s sell-on clause.
- The reported structure is a fixed fee of about €27–28m plus add-ons to reach €30m, and Gila has agreed personal terms for a five-year contract at roughly €4–5m per season.
- Sources differ on how Real Madrid’s 50% is calculated, with some outlets saying €15m (half of €30m) and others saying Madrid gets half of Lazio’s profit after deducting the €5–6m they paid in 2022.
- The transfer highlights how legacy sell-on clauses can shape club valuations and net receipts and adds to Real Madrid’s recent string of profitable academy-related departures.
