Ajax's Maarten Stekelenburg, Atletico Madrid's David de Gea and Schalke's Manuel Neuer have all been linked."We know the keeper we want and are in a good position and I'm sure we can get the deal done," Gill told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme.
"We've made the decision of who we want, we've been associated with all the top goalkeepers in Europe over the past six months, but we've known who we wanted for many months and we aim to achieve that," added Gill.
"We've got some major decision to make over the summer," admitted Gill.
"We've go to replace Edwin, Gary Neville has also retired, we don't know what Paul Scholes is going to do. He may well want to retire at the end of the season - though we are very much prepared and happy to offer him a further year.
"So without doubt there is going to be some activity in some key areas of the club and we have been preparing for that.
"It is not like we are going to start now - we've been preparing for that for the past 12 months and we will see what we can achieve in the summer."
"It wouldn't surprise us if Paul retired," said Gill.
"We are enjoying the success we are having, so at the end of the season, he will have a conversation with Sir Alex about that.
"I am sure he will let us know his decision and we will respect it.
"He has been a brilliant player for many years. It is interesting that while Ryan [Giggs] got his 12th title yesterday, that was Paul's 10th.
"It shows what he has achieved for us and what an absolutely fantastic player he has been."
