This has not been a problem for\u00a0United, who had a bid in that region\u00a0accepted this week, but Yoro is holding out for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p><em>AS<\/em>\u00a0report that Madrid want to sign a new centre-back this summer to replace outgoing club captain Nacho Fernandez. They believe Yoro could wait until the end of his current Lille contract in 2025 and move to the Spanish capital on a free\u00a0transfer, spurning United\u2019s advances in the process, but that doesn\u2019t solve their shortage of defenders heading into the coming season.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j2k9wa3aw1mqdsg0zq.jpg\" alt=\"Mario Gila\" title=\"Mario Gila\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Gila swapped Madrid for Lazio in 2022 \/ Francesco Scaccianoce\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>As such, those upstairs at Madrid are contemplating a move for Gila, who left for Lazio back in 2022 having only made two senior appearances for Los Blancos. However, Madrid retain 50% of Gila\u2019s rights from their \u20ac6m sale and so bringing him back could be a fairly straightforward and lucrative task even if Lazio play hardball over a fee.<\/p>\n<p>Madrid\u00a0are not the only team looking at Gila though, with Inter, Juventus, and Bayer Leverkusen all monitoring him.<\/p>\n<p>23-year-old Gila is regarded as one of the quickest defenders in Serie A and impressed in Lazio\u2019s run to the last 16 of last season\u2019s Champions League.
