Turin Transfer Market: Gill’s Message to the Granata After Their World Cup Elimination

Torino is full steam ahead for Orlando Gill. The Paraguayan goalkeeper—a standout performer for the Albirroja at the World Cup, which ended Saturday after their loss to France—opened the door to a move to Italy and to Torino while answering reporters’ questions after the match.

“A future at Torino? Why not—it’s a great club in Italy. But right now, it’s only fair that the club choose the best offer,” said the San Lorenzo goalkeeper, as reported by Toro.it.

His recent performances have raised the Argentine club’s asking price, and they will no longer settle for the 6 million euros previously requested. According to rumors, Gill’s contract includes a 10 million euro buyout clause. Now that Paraguay has been eliminated, Torino’s pursuit can finally begin.

Still on the defensive front, Petrachi is working to rebuild the left flank: at the moment, only Cristiano Biraghi is set to be transferred. One of the top names on the list is Rafael Obrador, who has returned to Benfica after last season’s loan. Torino wants to capitalize on the player’s desire to extend the loan for another year, but Benfica is waiting for other offers: Besiktas and Deportivo are also interested in Obrador.
