Paraguay's national team has shown its worth in the 2026 World Cup, and its goalkeeper Orlando Gill is one of the most outstanding players. After his great performance in Paraguay's penalty shootout win over Germany, Gill has become a target for European clubs like Torino and Ipswich Town.
What has happened?
Gill has been chosen as the best goalkeeper of the group stage according to the official FIFA Power Ranking, and his ability to save penalties has been crucial in Paraguay's qualification for the round of 16.
Why is it important for Paraguay?
The possible transfer of Gill could be a blow to the Paraguayan national team, as he is one of the most valuable players on the team. However, it could also be an opportunity for the player to develop his career at a higher level.
What comes next?
It is reported that Italian club Torino is analyzing investing in a goalkeeper and that Gill is a firm option, with a transfer value of between 5 and 6 million euros. Meanwhile, English club Ipswich Town has also shown interest in the player.

The financial situation of San Lorenzo, Gill's current club, could facilitate the sale of the player, as the institution needs fresh resources due to economic problems. The Paraguayan's contract with the club runs until December 31, 2027, and the Argentine club owns 50% of his economic rights.
What is the current context?
The Paraguayan national team is on a two-game winning streak, with a record of 2W-0D-3L in their last five games. The last result was a 2-1 win over Mexico on November 19, 2025.
