What happened: Napoli have sealed an agreement with Mario Gila over personal terms within the last 24 hours, according to Fabrizio Romano. The contract is reportedly ready, and club-to-club talks are now underway as Napoli try to convince Lazio to part with the centre-back.

Why it matters: Personal terms are the easier half of this deal; the harder part is persuading Lazio to sell a key defender to a direct Serie A rival. A successful move would reinforce Napoli's backline as they build for the upcoming 2026 campaign under new head coach Massimiliano Allegri.

What to watch: Watch whether Lazio agree to negotiate with a domestic rival and whether the clubs can settle on a transfer fee to complete the move.
