Manchester United is reportedly preparing a fresh bid for Lecce’s promising winger Patrick Dorgu, who holds both Danish and Nigerian nationalities, after the Italian club rejected their initial offer during the ongoing winter transfer window.
The Red Devils, keen to bolster their attacking options, had submitted an initial proposal of €27 million for the 20-year-old dual-national talent.
However, Lecce dismissed the offer, holding firm on their valuation of €40 million for the highly sought-after player.
United Determined to Land Dorgu
Undeterred by the setback, Manchester United is said to be readying a second bid, edging closer to Lecce’s asking price.
According to reports, while the Premier League giants are reluctant to meet the full €40 million valuation, they aim to present a more lucrative offer that could tempt the Serie A side into negotiations.
For Lecce, the potential transfer represents a significant financial opportunity, with Dorgu’s rising market value reflecting his impressive performances in Italy.
The club has made it clear that they will only part ways with the player if their demands are met.
Dorgu’s Desire for a New Challenge
Dorgu, who has emerged as a standout figure in Lecce’s squad, appears open to a move to Old Trafford.
Sources suggest that personal terms between the player and Manchester United would not be a stumbling block, as the winger is eager to take on a new challenge at one of Europe’s elite clubs.
The 20-year-old has garnered attention for his pace, technical ability, and creativity on the flank, making him an appealing prospect for United’s management as they look to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
Waiting on Lecce’s Decision
While Manchester United’s revised offer could bring them closer to securing Dorgu, the ultimate decision rests with Lecce.
With the Italian club standing firm on their valuation, the next move in this transfer saga could determine whether the Danish-Nigerian winger will join the ranks at Old Trafford or remain in Serie A for the foreseeable future.
As the January transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on whether Manchester United can finalize a deal to bring Dorgu to England, adding another exciting young talent to their ranks.
