Everton have kept close tabs on Lazio centre-back Mario Gila, 25, and are among several Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace and Brighton, tracking his situation. The interest in the Spaniard is intensifying, with Brighton and Bournemouth understood to have contacted the player's camp during the summer. Lazio hold a strong negotiating position as Gila's contract runs until 2027, and sources around the deal suggest the club would only engage in talks for a fee between €45 million and €50 million. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €30 million.
