Napoli are stepping up their efforts to reinforce both their present squad and future prospects, with a particular focus on strengthening their wide positions. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the league leaders have set their sights on Patrick Dorgu, the talented 20-year-old Danish winger currently playing for Lecce.
Aurelio De Laurentiis’s club is eager to secure Dorgu’s services, with a strategy to purchase the player and then loan him back to Lecce for the remainder of the season. This move would allow Dorgu to continue his development while ensuring Napoli has secured a promising talent for the future.
However, the situation could become more complex if Manchester United decide to enter the fray with a substantial offer. Reports suggest that if the English giants were to table a bid in the region of €40 million, it could significantly alter the landscape of negotiations.
As it stands, Manchester United have not submitted a formal offer for Dorgu. Their interest has been limited to a preliminary phone call to the player’s agent to gauge the situation, rather than direct contact with Lecce. The Italian club values Dorgu at between €30-35 million, with potential bonuses that could push the total package to around €40 million.
In the coming hours, Dorgu’s agent, who is based in Manchester, is expected to arrive in Milan for discussions with various interested clubs, including Manchester United. This meeting could be crucial in determining the young winger’s future.
The interest from both Napoli and Manchester United underscores Dorgu’s potential and the high regard in which he is held.
