Chelsea are headed for a big summer transfer window. They will be seen making some key signings. Enzo Maresca will be backed who wants new additions in almost all parts of the pitch. But, the Blues have defensive signings as the top priority.
The Blues are set to sign atleast 2-3 new defenders. They will part ways with all Disasi, Chalobah and Veiga. In addition, Badiashile can also get sold for right offer. Lastly, they are also worried about injury issues of Fofana. Hence, they can also opt to move-on from Frenchman.

The star in question here is Mario Gila. He is 24 years old and has been with Lazio since past 3 seasons. He has now became their regular starter and has played 43 games across all competitions. Gila has also scored on 2 occasions to display his attacking qualities.

According to Il Messaggero via Linterista, Chelsea have made an offer of €35 million to sign Gila. However, Lazio are demanding €50 million to part ways with the Spaniard. The Blues are in good financial state to pay that amount and hence it will be interesting to see how they approach the situation. Gila can be easily convinced as playing for Chelsea will be a huge step-up in his career.
