Nordsjaelland’s rising star Mario Dorgelès is attracting serious interest from Premier League side Brighton and Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund, following a standout season in the Danish Superliga.
The 20-year-old Ivorian midfielder, who came through the esteemed Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in Scandinavia.
Dorgelès has featured in 31 matches this season for Nordsjaelland, where his blend of vision, technical ability, and tactical intelligence has made him a central figure in the team’s midfield.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that both Brighton and Dortmund have made initial inquiries about the player, with the summer transfer window expected to bring heightened interest.
Both clubs are known for their focus on youth development and could provide an ideal platform for Dorgelès to continue his progression at a higher level.
Dorgelès has impressed not just with his creative flair and ball-winning capabilities but also with his ability to dictate tempo and switch between attacking and defensive duties with ease.
This versatility makes him an appealing prospect for coaches looking for multi-dimensional midfielders.
Transfermarkt currently values the Ivorian international at €3.5 million, a figure that may rise as demand intensifies.
While that valuation presents a reasonable fee for clubs in the market for emerging talent, Nordsjaelland are reportedly holding out for a higher sum to reflect his potential and importance to their squad.
The midfielder’s current contract runs until June 2027, giving the Danish club leverage in negotiations.
However, Dorgelès is widely expected to make a move this summer, with his development attracting growing interest across Europe.
Despite his youth, Dorgelès has already shown maturity on the field, seamlessly adapting to various tactical systems and delivering consistent performances throughout the season.
His background at the Right to Dream Academy has instilled in him a professional discipline that is increasingly valued by elite clubs.
Should either Brighton or Dortmund win the race for his signature, they will be acquiring not only a technically gifted playmaker but also a player with the potential to develop into one of Africa’s leading midfield exports.
The coming weeks will be pivotal in determining his next destination, with negotiations likely to intensify as both clubs weigh their midfield options.
