Patrick Dorgu A Doubt For Lecce Vs Inter Serie A Clash Amid Strong Man United Links
Thinks could get even harder for Lecce, however.
The Apulian team could have to do without a player who’s been absolutely key for them throughout the season so far.
Patrick Dorgu has been a regular starter for Lecce over the past two seasons.
And the Dane’s performances have not escaped the notice of bigger clubs.
Reportedly, big teams in Serie A like Inter, Juventus, AC Milan, and Napoli are admirers of Dorgu.
However, the 20-year-old’s next destination could instead be the Premier League.
Manchester United have been pushing to sign Dorgu.
The Red Devils have already made an offer worth €32 million plus add-ons for the Dane. Lecce have rejected that.
However, Dorgu is a priority target for United. therefore, they’re considering increasing their bid so that they can sign him before the end of the January transfer window.
The Corriere report that an offer of €40 million could soon arrive for Dorgu.
Amid this uncertainty, the Dane may sit out his team’s next match, against Inter. Lecce would hardly want to jeopardize the transfer talks, in case Dorgu is to pick up an injury.
