Barcelona are expected to continue their policy of signing promising young defenders in 2024 amid growing interest in Lecce star Patrick Dorgu.
Summer links, via Dorgu’s agent Kingsley Ogbodo, claimed Barcelona have been scouting the 18-year-old left back, as part of a long term plan to bring him to Catalonia.
However, despite Barcelona’s interest in the former Nordsjælland defender, they are not the only club interested in making a move in the coming months.
As per reports from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Premier League giants Liverpool are the current front runners to complete a deal, as Jurgen Klopp seeks a long term successor to Andrew Robertson.
Manchester City are also monitoring Dorgu’s progress in Italy with both English teams planning for the future in terms of new left backs.
