Orlando Gill nears transfer from San Lorenzo to Lille OSC

Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill is nearing a transfer from San Lorenzo to the French club Lille OSC. Following a standout performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Gill has attracted interest from several European teams.

While initial reports suggested a move to Monza in Italy was likely, the deal has shifted toward Lille. Reports on the financial terms vary: some sources indicate a deal of approximately $4 million USD for 100% of his rights, while others suggest a €4.5 million offer for 50% of his rights. Gill is expected to sign a five-year contract and compete for a starting position in France.

The transfer comes amid a period of uncertainty for the player at San Lorenzo. Club president Marcelo Culotta previously noted that while there were intentions from European clubs, no firm offers had been received. Additionally, Gill is currently facing a provisional suspension from the club's disciplinary tribunal following an incident during a match against Huracán.
