According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Patrick Dorgu is a long-time Milan target, as the Rossoneri had a €10m bid rejected by Lecce last year.
Dorgu’s Lecce will visit Milan at the Stadio Meazza tonight in the opening game of Serie A Round 6.
A 19-year-old Denmark international, Dorgu has been scouted by Chelsea and Tottenham, but Milan have been following the promising full-back for longer.
According to the latest report from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri offered €10m for the Danish defender in 2023 after seeing him contribute to Lecce’s Primavera title victory.
Lecce already rejected 10m Milan bid for Chelsea and Tottenham target
Dorgu hadn’t yet made his Serie A debut then, but Lecce still rejected Milan’s offer. A few weeks later, Dorgu made his senior debut under Roberto D’Aversa and became a regular starter in the second part of the season under Luca Gotti.
Dorgu usually plays as a left-back, but he’s been deployed higher up the pitch this season. Multiple Italian sources claim that Lecce’s asking price for Dorgu new exceeds €30m.
The 19-year-old scored on his senior Denmark debut earlier this month and has two appearances with his national team.
