Gila joins Milan as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the upcoming season. While the source article does not specify his previous club, the questions posed to Gila during the press conference referenced former Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare, suggesting previous interest during their tenures.
