Premier League heavyweights Liverpool are reportedly ready to cough up €70 million to sign 20-year-old Danish whizkid Patrick Dorgu from Serie A club US Lecce.
According to a report by Italian outlet Solo Lecce, Patrick Dorgu is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The US Lecce whizkid can be a long-term solution for the left-back and right-wing berths at the Merseyside club. Meanwhile, the Reds are willing to shell out €40 million to beat the competition to the signature of the Danish international.
The rise and rise of Patrick Dorgu
Patrick Dorgu has established himself as one of the best young prospects in Serie A since joining US Lecce from Nordsjaelland. A native of Copenhagen, the Dane spent his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the youth division at Nordsjaelland, although he spent some time with Lecce’s under-19 side in his debut season with the Serie A club.
A left-back prospect in his formative years, the 20-year-old is blossoming into a domineering right-winger. Dorgu has turned out over 50 times thus far for US Lecce while chipping in with five goals and two assists.
Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Widespread reports have linked the Danish international with European bigwigs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid. However, Liverpool will aim to beat the competition to his signature this year.
Premier League adventure beckons?
Liverpool’s interest in Patrick Dorgu is understandable. While it is unclear how the Merseyside club will utilise the highly-rated whizkid, he can be a solution for two positions in the first-team squad at Anfield. Liverpool can use him as the long-term successor to Andrew Robertson if he returns to his old role of left-back.
However, Dorgu can also be the long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah amid uncertainties surrounding his long-term Liverpool future. The Reds are ready to blow the competition out of the water by coughing up €40 million to secure the services of the Danish international.
Antonio Conte has been keen on taking the 20-year-old Dane to Napoli. However, Liverpool’s readiness to pay €40 million threatens to leave the Serie A giants behind. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for Dorgu.
