Italian Serie A club Lecce has placed a heavy price tag on 19-year-old fullback Patrick Dorgu, a Danish-born Nigerian player who has caught the attention of several leading European football teams including Juventus, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atletico Madrid, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
According to Tuttosport via JuventusNews, the young defender’s skills have made him one of the most sought-after talents in the league. While Transfermarkt estimates the players current value at €7 million, his current club is reportedly asking €20 million.
Despite the presence of strong competitors in his position, such as Antonino Gallo, Dorgu has solidified his place in Lecce’s starting lineup thanks to his dynamic play on both the left-back and left-wing positions. His attacking prowess and contributions to the attacking play have highlighted his first season in top-tier football.
Juventus, under the guidance of director Cristiano Giuntoli, has shown a significant interest in Dorgu, viewing him as a potential future star. However, securing his services will be challenging as other top clubs are also keen on signing the versatile player.
With 29 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing two goals and an assist, Dorgu’s performances are proving pivotal not just for his career but also for Lecce’s season. As the transfer window approaches, Dorgu’s next move is likely to be a hot topic in the football world.
