According to SportWitness, Chelsea are preparing to make a serious attempt to sign Lecce left back Patrick Dorgu this summer.
According to their translation of an Italian media story, both the Blues and Tottenham are interested in Dorgu, who has established himself as one of the league’s top offensive full backs despite his young age.
According to the source, Lecce would ask for a minimum of €20 million, but it might swiftly escalate to substantially more. Many other teams are interested, including AC Milan and Atletico Madrid.
However, in a recent interview with Flashscore, he mentioned Chelsea as his “dream” destination. We don’t know if he’s seen us recently.
That could give us an advantage, but in the end, money talks, and unless we can sell one of our current alternatives at left back, it will be difficult to justify adding another. To make matters worse, it appears that Tottenham are ahead of us in terms of getting into gear. According to the same report, they have already made contact with the Apulian club about a potential move.
A good fit—but only at the right price.
Many of the players mentioned in links to Chelsea appear to be unrealistic choices. But in this case, it all adds up. He’s the correct age, works for a lesser club on a low salary, and checks off most of the other boxes our sporting directors like to see.
There is only one issue: Tottenham’s interest. If we could get Dorgu for €20 million, we think we’d do it right now. However, if our Premier League rivals get involved, the price will skyrocket, and it may soon become unaffordable given our current financial circumstances.
