Manchester United
Despite claims elsewhere downplaying Manchester United’s interest in Orlando Gill, reports in Argentina continue to insist the Premier League club are pushing for the San Lorenzo goalkeeper. The Ciclón are now waiting for a formal offer.
The Paraguay international has been repeatedly linked with a move to Old Trafford following his impressive World Cup campaign, but reports from Argentina now suggest a formal offer could arrive within days.
Manchester United expected to make move
According to insider outlet Vamos Ciclón, people close to Gill expect Manchester United to submit a formal proposal before the end of the week.
The report says confidence has grown around the possibility of an approach from the Premier League club after the goalkeeper returned to training with San Lorenzo following his post-World Cup holiday.
However, the Argentine outlet also stresses that, despite the growing expectation, San Lorenzo have yet to receive any official contact from Manchester United.
Club officials insist there have been no phone calls, no documents and no formal bid from Old Trafford.
Gill back in training
Orlando Gill has now returned to training with San Lorenzo following his post-World Cup holiday.
His comeback may be brief, with the club increasingly resigned to the possibility of losing him during this transfer window. San Lorenzo believe it will be very difficult to keep the 26-year-old if Manchester United follow through with a serious offer.
They also see this summer as the right moment to sell. Gill’s performances for Paraguay have raised his profile and increased his value, while San Lorenzo need an important transfer to ease their financial problems.
For now, the goalkeeper remains part of the squad and continues to train normally. The situation could change quickly, though, with reports in Argentina and Paraguay continuing to insist Manchester United are preparing to act.
