Manchester United near £30m deal for Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu

Manchester United are nearing a £30m deal to sign Patrick Dorgu from Lecce.

The two clubs have been in discussions since last week, with many aspects of the transfer already agreed upon, and talks continuing to finalize the deal’s structure.

According to Sky Sports, Dorgu is set to become Ruben Amorim’s first signing as United manager.

The 20-year-old left wing-back is eager to join, and personal terms are expected to be straightforward.

Since Amorim’s appointment, the left wing-back position has been a top priority, and this transfer has been one of the most likely to go through during the window, regardless of the club’s circumstances.

Dorgu, who has made 53 Serie A appearances for Lecce since his 2022 move from Danish club Nordsjaelland, has also earned four caps for Denmark.
