Manchester United are reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Lecce’s promising left wing-back Patrick Dorgu.
While the Red Devils have already made two offers, both of which were rejected by Lecce, negotiations are ongoing with personal terms already agreed.
Lecce reportedly seeks €40 million (£33 million) for Dorgu, but United are working on a deal that includes additional bonuses to meet Lecce’s demands.
United’s Need for a Left Wing-Back
Man United have struggled with a lack of depth in the left-back position for a while, especially with injuries affecting Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia’s potential loan move.
Dorgu’s versatile playing style and both defensive and attacking contributions make him an ideal fit for United’s needs.
Dorgu’s Impressive Stats
At 20 years old, Dorgu has already established himself as a solid performer in Serie A, starting in all 20 of his appearances for Lecce this season.
With 3 goals and 1 assist to his name, he’s shown his offensive qualities, while also contributing defensively with an average of 2 tackles per game.
United’s continued negotiations reflect their desire to reinforce this key position before the close of the transfer window.
With his strong performances in Italy, Dorgu could be just the player United need to strengthen their squad.
