Manchester United has significantly accelerated their efforts to sign Patrick Dorgu, the versatile Lecce wing-back who has emerged as Ruben Amorim’s top target to revitalize the team’s challenging season.
Calciomercato report that the Red Devils have substantially improved their initial offer after Lecce’s first rejection. While the Italian club initially showed reluctance to sell mid-season, Manchester United’s persistence and Dorgu’s clear desire to move have created momentum for the potential transfer.
Dorgu, a 20-year-old Danish talent, has been impressive this season with 22 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. His versatility allows him to play multiple positions across the left and right flanks, making him an ideal fit for Amorim’s tactical system.
The latest offer from Manchester United exceeds €30 million, which would represent the most lucrative sale in Lecce’s history, surpassing the previous record of €20 million received for Hjulmand’s transfer to Sporting Club.
For Manchester United, Dorgu represents more than just a transfer. He symbolizes the club’s commitment to rebuilding and bringing youthful, dynamic talent to Old Trafford. Amorim sees him as a perfect wing-back for his proposed 3-4-2-1 formation, addressing the team’s current tactical limitations.
While Lecce remains hesitant to lose their key player mid-season, the player’s enthusiasm for the move and United’s improved offer suggest a potential breakthrough is imminent.
