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.

Tottenham have signed Brazil winger Savinho from Manchester City for an initial £75 million, with a further £10 million possible in add-ons. The 22-year-old has agreed a long-term contract after Spurs revived a pursuit that began last summer.

Savinho had limited Premier League starts for City last season and chose Tottenham after speaking with Roberto De Zerbi. His arrival adds another major attacking option to a Spurs squad that has already undergone extensive summer recruitment.

Napoli are preparing a permanent bid worth about €15 million to €16 million plus performance bonuses for Chelsea striker Marc Guiu. The Italian club have identified the young Spaniard as their priority attacking target for the closing days of the transfer window.

Napoli view Guiu as an option for both immediate depth and longer-term development, while Chelsea are willing to discuss attacking departures. The proposed package represents a concrete move rather than general interest as Napoli work to reshape their forward options.
