Manchester United Raises Bid for Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu

Manchester United has reportedly increased their offer for Lecce’s versatile wideman Patrick Dorgu, following the rejection of their initial €27 million bid earlier in the transfer window. The young Danish international has been a target for several top clubs, with United now stepping up their efforts to secure his signature.

Dorgu, aged 20, has been attracting attention from various Serie A clubs, including Napoli and Juventus, who were eyeing a potential summer move. However, Manchester United is keen to finalize a deal during the current January transfer window.

According to Italian media reports, Lecce had previously indicated they would consider offers in the range of €35-40 million for Dorgu. The latest bid from United is said to exceed €30 million, though it remains unclear if this will be sufficient to convince Lecce to part with their prized asset.

The increased offer demonstrates United’s determination to bolster their squad with young talent. Dorgu, who made his senior international debut for Denmark earlier this season, is seen as a promising prospect with potential to strengthen United’s options in wide areas.

As negotiations continue, football fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if Manchester United can successfully complete this high-profile transfer before the January window closes.
