Torino begins contacting San Lorenzo to buy Orlando Gill

Torino, one of the prominent teams in Serie A, has begun the process of contacting San Lorenzo Club to negotiate the recruitment of goalkeeper Orlando Gill. The transfer value offered by San Lorenzo for Gill is 10 million dollars, equivalent to about 8.5 million euros, a not small number in the context of the current transfer market.

Orlando Gill made a strong impression at the 2026 World Cup with an excellent performance while playing for the Paraguay team. He became the team's hero when he successfully saved two penalties in the match against Germany, although he could not stop the attacking power of the French team, especially Mbappé.

According to information from Tuttosport, Torino's Sports Director Gianluca Petrachi is looking to negotiate to reduce the price to less than 6 million euros, a number they consider reasonable for a player like Gill before he participates in the World Cup. However, Torino is facing competition from English clubs and Lazio, which makes negotiations more complicated.

At the same time, Torino is also keeping in touch with Bologna's Federico Ravaglia as a potential replacement for the goalkeeper position. They are offering a loan contract with the right to buy back worth 6 million euros, while Bologna is asking for an official transfer. This is also a sensitive time when Franco Israel, Torino's current goalkeeper, has not met expectations and is rumored to leave the club.

However, Israel's transfer to Nacional de Montevideo was delayed due to an injury to his shoulder tendon, an issue that requires further medical tests before a final decision can be made on the possibility of surgery. This situation will significantly affect Torino's plans to strengthen its defense.
