Orlando Gill, the custodian for San Lorenzo de Almagro, is being pursued by Fulham during the summer transfer window.
That’s according to the San Lorenzo Website, which also discusses remarks made by Mariano Zelaya, the 24-year-old’s agent.
According to the agent, his client has received an offer from the Premier League, and Bologna and Genoa are both interested. He has not clarified the team’s specifics, and the publication implies Fulham is the team.
Genoa and Bologna are intrigued. Additionally, the Premier League [Fulham] has made a very significant offer, and Brazilian football has also made an offer,” he stated.
In January 2024, the Paraguayan left Club Sportivo San Lorenzo, the Paraguayan club, to join the Argentine team.
Gill made 18 appearances so far of which 17 are from this year and kept nine clean sheets and conceded 11 goals in the process. His contract expires in December 2027.
Despite receiving approaches from Fulham and other clubs, the agent insists his client’s preference is to finish this year at San Lorenzo de Almagro.
“What I always tell Orlando is to take it slow. He’s at a big club, which gave him the opportunity and visibility. I want him to stay until the end of the year because he’s fighting to be part of the national team,” Zelaya explained.
“Where a player builds his career is crucial. You have to be very careful where he plays and with which manager. If a player tells me ‘I want to make history with the national team,’ then the responsibility is huge.
“Today, Orlando has San Lorenzo and his national team on his mind. We’ll work through our options slowly.”
The goalkeeper hasn’t made his debut for Paraguay but that could change soon. Paraguay manager Gustavo Alfaro called him up for the two games against Chile and Colombia in March.
