AC Milan enquired about the signing of a Lecce defender during the January transfer window but saw their attempts rebuffed, according to a report.
TMW have published an article about Patrick Dorgu who is the latest revelation for Pantaleo Corvino, Lecce’s sporting director who continues to showcase his knack for finding unknown gems.
The Danish full-back was signed Nordsjaelland for just €200k. Lecce let him play, grow and win the league title with the Primavera and from this season he was promoted to the first team.
He has 21 appearances for Lecce this season and he scored in their win over Fiorentina on Friday. At 19 years of age, Dorgu is one of the most followed and sought after young talents in Serie A.
Between December and the beginning of January, Milan tested the waters to try to understand his costs and feasibility.
The Rossoneri were looking for a left back to deputise for Theo Hernandez, but immediately after the enquiry Corvino’s clear answer arrived: he will not be leaving midway through the season.
The teenager has also made his way up the national team ranks, debuting for the U18s in 2022 before making the step up to the U21s last year.
