United are lining up an offer worth up to €35 million (£29m/$37m), the reporter says, and Napoli are prepared to come close to that offer, though they would consider loaning the 20-year-old back to Lecce. It is more than a two-horse race, however, as Chelsea and Tottenham have already been credited with an interest in Dorgu.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dorgu joined Lecce from Nordsjaelland in 2022 in an initial loan deal before completing a permanent move a year later. He was initially used as a left-back but has been used as a winger more recently – often on the right side. He has scored three goals in 12 Serie A games this season – one more than he managed in 32 matches last term.
AFPWHAT NEXT?
Dorgu is not the only left-back on United's radar, with Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies and AC Milan's Theo Hernandez among the options on their list of targets.
