Manchester United have reached a crucial stage in their pursuit of US Lecce sensation Patrick Dorgu, with personal terms already agreed upon.
According to a report from Calciomercato, Patrick Dorgu is closing in on a move to Manchester United. The Red Devils have reached a pivotal stage in the transfer saga of the Danish international. Their latest offer has been taken into consideration by US Lecce and things could take a positive turn soon.
Dorgu has made quite a name for himself since getting promoted to the Italian club’s first team in the summer of 2023. He has been a consistent performer for them and his ability to feature anywhere on either flank has attracted a significant amount of interest from across Europe.
Manchester United are close to signing Patrick Dorgu
Manchester United are one of the clubs that have been working on a potential transfer for some time. They view him as an ideal fit for the left-wing-back role in Ruben Amorim’s team. Tyrell Malacia is no longer an important part of their plans and with Luke Shaw struggling to stay fit, the Portuguese manager wants to bring in a new left-sided defender.
Dorgu’s ability to feature on both ends of the pitch and his massive potential make him the perfect fit for United’s project. As a result, they have been in talks with Lecce for some time now. The report suggests the Red Devils have reached a crucial stage in their pursuit of the 20-year-old.
Amorim has made him his top priority for the ongoing transfer window and the player has made it clear to Lecce that he intends to join the Premier League outfit in the coming days. While the Italian outfit rejected their initial offer worth €20 million plus bonuses, the Red Devils haven’t given up just yet.
They have returned with an improved offer of over €30 million which has been taken into consideration by Lecce. Soon the two clubs could reach an agreement, after which the move could be fast-tracked as the player already has an agreement on personal terms with United.

According to a report from TBR, Dorgu has a verbal agreement in place with the Premier League giants. He is keen on making the move to United and his representatives have verbally accepted United’s offer.
With the player keen on moving to Old Trafford, Lecce are expected to give the green light to the move. While they want a massive €40 million for the 20-year-old, they could agree to a lower fee.
