Following a few reports about Liverpool’s interest in Lecce fullback Patrick Dorgu, we now get to see the Italian media bringing an update on that pursuit.
It’s Calcio Mercato who feature a story claiming the 18-year-old has been drawing big interest from European sides, and the Serie A club are getting prepared for a transfer scenario.
The Reds should face some Spanish competition, though, as Atletico Madrid scouts have been travelling to watch the player in action for Italy’s U-21 squad.
As Lecce watch the situation, they reportedly set a valuation of over €20m for his sale. Their idea is to make all that money with his departure next summer, but a January move isn’t ruled out.
The Serie A side only spent little to get him signed from Nordsjaelland, and are ready to take a huge profit.
With Liverpool and Atletico Madrid having Dorgu ‘in their sights’, we shall see who’ll move first to get the signing done.
