Paris Saint-Germain have quietly reshaped their center-back group over the past year, bringing in Lucas Beraldo and Willian Pacho. But with summer approaching, could the club look to add another young piece to the mix?

Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, and Lucas Hernandez remain key figures, but there are question marks. Marquinhos is now in his mid-30s, and both Kimpembe and Hernandez have struggled with injuries. It’s clear PSG need to keep reinforcing the backline with younger talent.

Le Parisien reports that PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos traveled to Italy during the week to scout several players, including likely Lazio center-back Mario Gila, during the Lazio vs. Bodo Glimt match. Gila has already been identified as a potential target for the summer transfer window.

A previous report from La Gazzetta dello Sport said PSG are interested in Gila, with a potential price tag of around €30 million. The defender has also been heavily linked with a return to Real Madrid.

After selling him to Lazio for €6 million, Los Merengues included a 50 percent sell-on clause in the deal—meaning they’d get a significant discount if they choose to bring him back. Moreover, the Spanish standout is also reportedly on Manchester City and Bayern Munich’s radar.
