Lille, still in search of a goalkeeper capable of competing with Berke Özer, has made a first offer for Orlando Gill. The Paraguayan goalkeeper, author of a notable 2026 World Cup, was however in the sights of Olympique de Marseille in recent days. The goalkeeper position is agitating this summer transfer market in Ligue 1. In search of a serious competitor to Berke Özer, Lille has set its sights on Orlando Gill, a coveted goalkeeper in Ligue 1. According to San Lorenzo Primero, the northern club would have engaged discussions with the San Lorenzo (Argentina) club, which would have given its agreement to advance the file. An offer below the liberatory clause If still unknown, the amount of the Lille offer remains below the liberatory clause of the Paraguayan goalkeeper, estimated at 7 million euros. Under contract until December 31, 2027, Orlando Gill (25 years old) comes out of a remarkable season at 26 matches with San Lorenzo. But, he had especially made himself known with Paraguay during the World Cup, notably after an altercation with Kylian Mbappé during the match against the Blues. Until now, Lille had explored the path of a Ligue 1 goalkeeper, Mory Diaw. For this reason, the Senegalese goalkeeper of Le Havre AC knows the French championship well. A profile rejected by OM Orlando Gill had been proposed to Olympique de Marseille, which is looking for a successor to Gerónimo Rulli, who has left for Manchester City. But the OM directors have finally decided not to pursue this lead. It seems that OM is advancing with Jeffrey de Lange for the upcoming season, while Lille is trying to finalize the Orlando Gill operation with San Lorenzo.
