Gill, 26, gained international attention through a series of high-profile performances. The report describes him as a decisive figure for Paraguay, including during the elimination of Germany.
That kind of tournament exposure can change a goalkeeper’s market position quickly. Clubs are often willing to pay a premium for proven international experience, particularly when the player has performed under knockout-stage pressure.
The sporting logic for United is clear: Gill could provide experienced cover and make the goalkeeping group more secure. The complication is his likely role.
Lammens is already considered a quality goalkeeper for the starting position. Unless the club sees Gill as genuine competition, the Paraguayan could arrive facing a season largely defined by substitute appearances.
That would be a difficult proposition for a 26-year-old whose international performances have created momentum. Goalkeepers need regular matches to maintain rhythm, and a move that limits his club minutes could slow the progress he has made with Paraguay.
For United, the attraction is depth. For Gill, the key issue would be opportunity. A move to Old Trafford would offer elite competition and a higher-profile environment, but not necessarily a clear route to the gloves.
San Lorenzo are also expected to resist losing an important player unless the conditions are attractive. Any formal approach would therefore have to satisfy both the club’s valuation and Gill’s career ambitions.
The next transfer window will reveal whether United turn reported monitoring into a concrete move. The central question will remain unchanged: can the club offer Gill a meaningful pathway, or only a place on the bench?
