Orlando Gill Close to Summer Transfer, Agent Says

World Cup form convinced buyers, making the move a potentially significant sale for San Lorenzo.

Overview

  • Gill’s agent Mario Jara told DSports Radio on Thursday that two concrete offers have been received and that negotiations are ongoing with a sale close to completion.
  • Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has denied Manchester United are pursuing Gill and pointed to United’s recent addition of Karl Darlow and Senne Lammens’ established No.1 role as reasons the club is unlikely to sign him.
  • Multiple outlets report interest from clubs in England and Germany but no final destination has been confirmed, so a move to a European club other than United is currently considered more likely.
  • Gill led the World Cup with a tournament-high 28 saves, a performance credited across reports for sharply raising his market value and prompting concrete transfer offers.
  • San Lorenzo would gain a meaningful fee if the transfer completes, and the move could affect goalkeeper rosters in the English and German markets depending on which club signs him.
