The Red Devils have secured the talented teenager from Lecce. A major boost for their squad! 💪
Chelsea’s chase for Danish sensation Patrick Dorgu has turned into a fierce contest, with Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid also vying for the Lecce defender.
The 19-year-old has seen his stock soar after standout performances in Serie A and an impressive debut for Denmark. His strong showing in his first season with Lecce, combined with his versatility, has made him a hot commodity among Europe’s biggest clubs.
Initially, Lecce set Dorgu’s value at €30 million, but recent displays have pushed his price to €40 million. Despite this rise, Chelsea remains keen, with the young player being a known fan of the club. He fits perfectly into Chelsea’s youth-focused approach, spearheaded by manager Thomas Tuchel.
However, Chelsea isn’t the only club in the running. Both Liverpool and Manchester United are looking to strengthen their wings, and Dorgu’s ability to play on both sides of the pitch makes him a highly attractive option for them.
Real Madrid has also entered the fray, according to Defensa Central, adding another layer of complexity. The Spanish giants view Dorgu as a potential future star and may be eyeing him as a long-term replacement for Alphonso Davies, should the Canadian renew his deal with Bayern Munich.
Chelsea may need to act quickly, possibly as early as January, to fend off competition and secure Dorgu’s signature. This transfer race is shaping up to be a major battle, with some of Europe’s top clubs all vying for the promising young talent.
