Paraguay\u2019s Orlando Gill emerged as one of the standout goalkeepers at the 2026 World Cup<\/a>, with his dazzling displays for his nation placing him on the radar of multiple European clubs.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old was named as the Player of the Match against both Germany and France in his nation\u2019s two respective knockout games.<\/p>\n

His penalty shootout heroics in the former, in which he denied Kai Havertz and Nick Woltemade from the spot, etched his name in Paraguayan history as the nation advanced to the Round of 16 by toppling Die Mannschaft in a true David versus Goliath upset.<\/p>\n

It seems as though Paraguayan supporters are not the only group to have developed a vested interest in the 26-year-old\u2019s displays, as Manchester United<\/a>, Aston Villa<\/a> and Ipswich Town are all said to be monitoring Gill\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n

The Paraguayan currently plays for San Lorenzo, an Argentine club battling serious financial problems. The Argentine newspaper Clarin<\/a> has claimed the club\u2019s debt is approaching 100 billion Argentine pesos, about \u00a350m.<\/p>\n

Gill\u2019s displays on the world stage thus could have hardly come at a better time for the club, who believe the goalkeeper\u2019s potential sale could go a long way in easing the financial crisis.<\/p>\n

With three goalkeepers set to leave Manchester United this summer, the Manchester Evening News<\/a> understands that Michael Carrick\u2019s<\/a> side are in the market for a goalkeeper who can provide competition for Senne Lammens. As such, Gill could be an interesting prospect.<\/p>\n

\"Orlando<\/p>\n

Orlando Gill saved two penalties in Paraguay’s shootout win over Germany, an historic result for the South Americans<\/p>\n

The Paraguayan boasts an impressive record for San Lorenzo, keeping 29 clean sheets in 59 appearances for the club, with manager Nestor Gorosito reportedly already considering potential replacements between the sticks.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest that there is an acceptance inside San Lorenzo that Gill\u2019s departure could be difficult to prevent, and the 26-year-old himself addressed the situation upon his return to Paraguay following La Albirroja\u2019s World Cup exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say yes or no. They told me there is interest, but not a formal offer,\u201d Gill explained, \u201cI don\u2019t want to get carried away. We\u2019ll sit down and speak with the club to see what is best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clarin states that the 26-year-old\u2019s contract contains a release clause which stands at approximately \u00a35.2m.<\/p>\n

Should Gill\u2019s dominant displays from the World Cup translate to the Premier League<\/a>, a potential deal for this price could be deemed a steal later down the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a clause in my contract and I think it has to be respected,\u201d Gill said, \u201cthen it depends on the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s good for both parties, we\u2019ll have to reach an agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Carrick’s side could be set for a steal as Paraguayan shot-stopper breaks his silence on his future…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":684265,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[239,59,1441,72217,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-684264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-fifa-club-world-cup","tag-gb","tag-manchester-united-fc","tag-michael-carrick","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
