US Lecce want a big fee to sell Patrick Dorgu to Chelsea or Tottenham, with the report stating a price point of €40-50 million mooted about.
According to Calcio Napoli, Patrick Dorgu could cost in the region of €40-50 million ahead of future windoes, as the US Lecce star comes in for high demand. Chelsea and Tottenham are keen to sign him, while the winger also has significant interest from Serie A giants, as Lecce are eager to make a club record sale.
Patrick Dorgu is one of the highly sought-after talents coming from Serie A. He has impressed with his displays for US Lecce. The Serie A side are open to letting him leave and has accepted their fate with a talent of his quality, although they will only sell for a club-record price.
The report clearly states a price point of €40-50 million for the attacker, who can also play as a full-back on either flank. Chelsea is one of the teams keen on signing him, while other Premier League sides are interested in signing him as well, including Liverpool, who had briefly considered him to succeed Mohamed Salah in the future.
Tottenham are the other side deeply interested in Dorgu, with the 19-year-old Serie A wonderkid a big player on their radar. Spurs have a fantastic network in Serie A, and given how much they have relied on signings from the Italian league, one might argue they could have the upper hand.
However, given the steep price and the likelihood of Dorgu staying put in Serie A and moving to a big club there, Chelsea and Tottenham may have to dig deep to get a deal in place. Hence, the idea of signing someone like the 19-year-old Serie A wunderkind will be seen as progressive, but given the price tag and other factors, this signing will be very difficult.
Patrick Dorgu to stay in Serie A?
Previous reports have widely speculated that Serie A is interested in Dorgu, and now Napoli is considered one of the front runners for the winger. The 19-year-old feels extremely comfortable in Italy, meaning he could still give in more years there before thinking of a switch to the Premier League or elsewhere.
This factor could diminish Tottenham or Chelsea’s chances of signing Dorgu at the moment. Moreover, the €40-50 million price point could also feel too high for their liking, especially given that the player does not immediately move the needle in those teams.
