Lille are close to finalising the signing of Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill from San Lorenzo for about €3.8 million covering 50 percent of his economic rights. Gill rejected an approach from Monza and pushed for the move to France.

The 26-year-old arrives with a heightened profile after his 2026 World Cup performances, including two shootout penalty saves against Germany. Lille moved ahead of rival interest as Gill sought a first move into European club football.
