‘He informed me he would like to join Chelsea over Arsenal.’ Pedri Nato has confirmed that his £70 million International teammate wants to leave his club this Summer because he no longer enjoys playing for his current Club
Manchester United is targeting Patrick Dorgu, a left-back from Lecce, amid PSG’s reluctance to sell Nuno Mendes. The Red Devils are desperate to strengthen their left wing-back position, which has been a concern for over a year due to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia’s fitness issues. Although Malacia has returned, he’s been linked with a departure, and Ruben Amorim has shown a preference for Diogo Dalot in that position.
Previous Targets
Manchester United had previously targeted Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, but he proved unattainable. Alphonso Davies, a highly sought-after left-back, is reportedly close to extending his contract with Bayern Munich, making him unlikely to join Manchester United.
Nuno Mendes: A Pricey Option
Manchester United had ramped up their interest in PSG’s Nuno Mendes, but the French giants are reluctant to sell, especially at a high price. With limited funds available and significant debt, Manchester United may struggle to afford Mendes.
Patrick Dorgu: A New Target
Given the challenges with Mendes, Manchester United has identified Patrick Dorgu as an alternative option. The 20-year-old Danish left-back has been linked with Chelsea and Tottenham, and his contract situation suggests he may be available in 2025. However, Lecce’s demand for €40 million in the summer makes him a potentially pricey signing, and Manchester United may face competition from Napoli [21].
