Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill weighs future after World Cup exit

Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill, 26, who plays for San Lorenzo in Argentina, returned to Paraguay after the national team’s 1‑0 loss to France that ended their World Cup campaign. Hundreds of fans, mostly children, gathered outside his home where he spoke briefly with journalists.

Gill said he holds no hard feelings toward France’s Kylian Mbappé, whom he tried to congratulate after the match, calling him an “excellent player.” He also recalled Paraguay’s penalty‑shootout win over Germany and the congratulatory handshake from Manuel Neuer. While there are interest and offers regarding his club future, Gill confirmed that no formal negotiations have taken place and that he will discuss options with San Lorenzo and other parties.
