Tonight’s clash between Milan and Lecce at San Siro holds special significance for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Among the Lecce players, his close friend Ante Rebic will take the field, with whom he shared a strong on-pitch connection that continues off the field. While the Croatian striker poses the primary threat to the Rossoneri, much of the spotlight will be on his teammate Dorgu.
Calciomercato report that Ibrahimovic is familiar with Dorgu’s name as it has been in Moncada’s database for months. The French executive has a particular fondness for the 2004-born player and had attempted to bring him to Milan last season. Just a few months ago, the Danish international was playing as a left-back with a valuation of around 12 million euros, but things have changed significantly since then.
Gotti has transformed the role and prospects of one of the most interesting young players in the league. Dorgu now excels as a right-winger, with the Lecce coach looking to exploit the Dane’s power and speed. This tactical shift has already paid dividends, with Dorgu scoring against Parma last week.
Corvino resisted the temptation to sell this prized asset last summer, convinced that his growth would be exponential and his value would increase accordingly. Patrick is now valued at around €25 million and has attracted interest from Premier League clubs.
It remains to be seen whether Milan will renew their pursuit in the coming months, but Dorgu’s rapid development and versatility make him an increasingly attractive prospect for top clubs.
