Inter wanted me, chose Milan instead, says Mario Gila

Inter wanted me, chose Milan instead, says Mario Gila Speaking from the Trento Sports Festival, Spanish defender Mario Gila revealed that he was also on Inter’s radar over the summer but chose to move to Milan instead. “Yes, Inter wanted me too. But helping Milan come back great would be a much better satisfaction than coming to any team that is already winning now.” Quote sourced from La Gazzetta dello Sport . Another angle to the matter is that Inter’s priorities lay elsewhere. Manuel Akanji’s move was made permanent over the summer, Benjamind Pavard was reintegrated into the setup after being loaned out to Marseille last season, Aleksandar Stanković was brought back from Club Brugge, while John Stones also arrived on a free. While it is true that Inter did consider a move for the 26-year-old, they understandably chose to spend money elsewhere. Gila’s reasoning of “much better satisfaction” if he wins with Milan makes sense in terms of how far the Rossoneri currently seem from their local rivals. They last won the league in 2021/22; Inter have won the league twice since then. Their last title before that arrived 2010/11, so it stands to reason that the next crop of Milan players who lift the Scudetto will be remembered more notably. Gila moved to San Siro from Lazio for €30 million, signing a five-year, €5.77m-per-year contract. He has already become a mainstay in Ruben Amorim’s backline, having made six appearances this season across all competitions. Anshuman Joshi | GIFN
