Chelsea have already started scouting their next superstars. Victor Osimhen is constantly linked with The Blues and there are always new updates about his move. Along with attackers, The Blues are also keen to improve their defence. Chelsea are keen to sign Patrick Dorgu who currently plays for Leece.
Who is Patrick Dorgu?
Dorgu is 19 years old left back who is from Denmark. He joined Italian side Leece two years ago and made his senior debut last year. Dorgu is seen as a player with bright future and it can be seen from his performances for Leece.
Last season, Dorgu played 34 matches in all competitions and scored 2 goals along with picking an assist. He has already made 3 international appearances and also has 1 goal in those. Lastly, he is very versatile and currently has market value of €12 million as per Transfermarkt.
Chelsea get massive blow in the pursuit of Dorgu
Chelsea were amongst the top clubs interested to sign Patrick Dorgu. AC Milan were the most interested club and already made an approach to sign him. They offered Leece €10 million for Denmark international but Leece quickly rejected it.
Now as per Tutto Mercato Web, Leece have renewed Dorgu’s contract until 2029. This has made Leece’s stance in keeping Dorgu very strong. The Italian side can now demand a much higher fee for Danish fullback. In addition, Dorgu’s market value is only going to rise with time.
This will surely come as a blow for Chelsea who would have liked to sign Dorgu at a low price. But they are expected to do just fine as they already have quality options available. Marc Cucurella is 26 years old and Renato Viega is just 21 years old. The Premier League giants may get their eyes on another target soon next year.
