Mario Gila targets Milan revival despite Inter interest

Spanish central defender Mario Gila says he chose Milan despite Inter’s interest because he wants to help the Rossoneri return to winning ways.

TuttoMercatoWeb carried Gila’s account following an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. He confirmed the Nerazzurri wanted him, while making clear that Milan became his destination after a decision he said did not depend on him alone.

The choice reflects the appeal of Milan’s project for Gila, rather than a claim that the club currently stand alongside their city rivals. He described the team as being at the start of its project and said it would need time, while also expressing confidence in the work being done by Ruben Amorim and the squad.

Gila chose Milan for the challenge of winning again

Gila acknowledged that Milan are behind in the standings and need to make up ground. He also said the team’s current level is the Europa League, where they are competing, but insisted the club must continue to think ambitiously.

Inter’s interest is consistent with the Nerazzurri’s wider search for defensive reinforcements. In April, Mario Gila featured among the centre-back options linked to Inter, as the club considered its defensive shortlist.

Supplementary reporting has also named Napoli as an interested club, but TuttoMercatoWeb’s account specifically confirms Inter’s interest; it does not establish Napoli’s involvement. Gila’s explanation of his choice focused on the opportunity at Milan and the satisfaction he sees in helping the club win again.

He believes Milan can win, provided the team keeps working and trusts the project. His remarks set out an ambitious aim alongside a clear assessment of the immediate task: improve the league position and close the gap.
