Manchester United linked with Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill in £17m transfer

First mention — filed under speculative.

Manchester United are being linked with a transfer move for Orlando Gill, the 26-year-old Paraguay goalkeeper, according to CaughtOffside. The outlet reports that United have made a first approach for the shot-stopper, with a figure of £17m attached to the reported valuation.

Gill’s name has been brought to wider attention following the World Cup, where he played a notable role in Paraguay’s campaign — most prominently in a penalty shootout that eliminated Germany. CaughtOffside frames that performance as the catalyst for United’s reported interest.

At this stage there is no corroboration from a second outlet, no confirmed talks, and no detail on personal terms or contract length. The card sits firmly at the whisper level: one source, one tier-three report, no independent verification.

What would move this card forward: a second outlet — ideally tier one or two — confirming that formal contact has been made, or any reporting on the structure of a potential deal.
