Monday saw Partick Dorgu pushed front and centre for Manchester United, with the newspaper edition of Corriere dello Sport being the first to report meetings over a genuine attempt to sign the Lecce player, and then Gazzetta dello Sport diving in headfirst with claims of an offer going in.
For a round-up of what is being said on Tuesday, we can start in Spain. That’s because there’s an interesting snippet from Diario de Sevilla. As part of their article on Antony being on the verge of joining Real Betis on loan, it’s stated Manchester United have finally given the green light for the Brazilian’s exit because they believe they’re securing another option for the right… Dorgu.
Tuesday’s edition of Corriere dello Sport also sounds confident. They report Manchester United have Dorgu ‘in their grasp’. Officials from the Premier League club have turned up in Italy ‘precisely to define the sensational sale’. The player himself is said to have been convinced with a ‘very important proposal’ and there’s a suggestion €35m including bonuses will do the trick.
Meanwhile, SOSLecce believe their local club are refusing to sell Dorgu until the end of the season.
