Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu has been on the radar of top clubs for some time, but Manchester United is the first to move from interest to concrete discussions during this transfer window. However, the outcome appears unfavorable for the Red Devils.
Details: Lecce president Saverio Sticchi Damiani, following talks with United, expressed his delight at the club’s interest but emphasized the team's priority of avoiding relegation from Serie A, with Dorgu being a key player in that mission.
Quote: "The meeting with Manchester United went well; it was a cordial encounter. It’s a great honor for us to sit at the table with Manchester United and discuss a player who came from our Primavera. This highlights the club's development path, and we are very happy about it.
We explained to Manchester that, for now, our desire is to keep the squad unchanged, retaining all the big names, especially Dorgu," Damiani told Sky Sports.
