Paraguay keeper Orlando Gill close to Lille move after World Cup breakout | OneFootball

According to Superdeporte, San Lorenzo goalkeeper Orlando Gill is close to joining Lille after a standout World Cup with Paraguay.

He conceded six goals in five matches, a notable return for his national team. Paraguay beat Türkiye and Germany on penalties, with Gill influential across the 120 minutes before the shootouts.

Monza had proposed a loan with an option to buy, but Gill prioritised Lille because it involved a permanent transfer to a historic French club.

Gill began at Sportivo San Lorenzo in the 2019/2020 season and spent two campaigns there with limited minutes. He then moved to San Lorenzo, where he was not a regular, although the 24/25 season was his most eye-catching.
