Earlier today, we covered multiple reports from the local Lecce media which stated Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United has been agreed and the transfer is close to being completed.
The gist is that the 20-year-old will soon belong to the Premier League club on a five year contract and the Serie A side will get around €40m, a figure which encouraged some pride for the media around Lecce because it represents he club’s highest ever capital gain on a player.
Gazzetta dello Sport now join in with the Dorgu to Manchester United fun.
The famous old Italian newspaper have published an article stating: ‘Dorgu to Manchester United, it’s done! To Lecce almost 40 million, it’s a record.’
Dorgu is said to be ‘already packing his bags’ and just final details on bonuses are being sorted out. As Gazzetta have it, the youngster’s parents are packing up boxes for the big move, whilst the player himself is anxiously looking at his mobile phone.
Manchester United are said to have failed in their attempts to get a discount, and as such are approaching the €40m which was Lecce’s ambitious target.
Gazzetta state: ‘This evening, tomorrow morning at the latest, Dorgu will move to United on a permanent basis.’
Soon it should be a case of the player taking a trip to the airport ready to start his new life in England. Of course, accompanied by his family who have played a big part in his career to date.
