Manchester United Submit Bid to Sign Orlando Gill

Manchester United have submitted a bid for Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill as manager Michael Carrick continues to reshape his squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The club has already officially announced four additions during a busy summer transfer window:
- Andrey Santos arrived from Chelsea.
- Youri Tielemans was signed after activating his release clause at Aston Villa.
- Karl Darlow, an experienced goalkeeper, joined following his departure from Leeds United.
- Tynan Thompson, a young winger, completed a move from Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite these arrivals, United have more work planned before the new campaign begins. Earlier this week, reports indicated that the club had made initial contact regarding a potential move for Gill. That interest has now reportedly developed into a formal financial proposal.
According to DSports Radio on X, Gill’s representative has confirmed receiving an offer from Manchester United worth close to the $8 million clause in his contract. San Lorenzo have reportedly not yet received a formal proposal, but the Argentine club is expected to assess the situation once it arrives.
Who Is Orlando Gill?
Gill is a 26-year-old Paraguayan goalkeeper who currently plays for San Lorenzo in Argentina. He attracted major attention during the 2026 FIFA World Cup after producing several outstanding performances for Paraguay.
His defining moment came during the round-of-32 tie against Germany. After the match finished level, Gill saved penalties from Kai Havertz and Nick Woltemade, helping Paraguay secure a famous shootout victory. He also made six saves during the 120 minutes and earned the Player of the Match award.
Those heroics helped Paraguay defeat a European nation in the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time. Across five tournament appearances, Gill made 23 saves and kept two clean sheets before Paraguay’s campaign ended.
His commanding presence, shot-stopping ability, and composure under pressure have since attracted interest from European clubs.
Current Goalkeeping Situation at United
United currently have Senne Lammens as their first-choice goalkeeper, while Karl Darlow joined this summer. Nevertheless, the reported bid for Gill suggests Carrick could be preparing for further changes within his goalkeeping department.
