Napoli are about to step up their efforts to acquire Patrick Dorgu. He’s highly regarded by all their decision-makers and one of the top targets to fortify their future squad. They plot to go after him in January already, anticipating the investment and leaving him on loan to Lecce for the rest of the season, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
The Partenopei will have to empty their coffers to win the race. The Salentini value him €40M. They repelled Tottenham and Chelsea in the summer because they thought he’d continue to grow. They were correct. West Ham and RB Leipzig are working on signing him too currently. He has bagged 3 goals in 13 appearances.
Napoli plan to start from €30M bid for Dorgu, which Lecce might turn down. They are aware they need to move early to emerge victorious. Antonio Conte recently warned patron Aurelio De Laurentiis that they’d have to enlarge and improve the squad ahead of their return to the European stage next summer. The versatile Danish international would be part of their strategy. They’ll aim to onboard a top player in every area of the pitch.
The Azzurri will also attempt to add a starting-caliber center-back in January to be safe.
He’d fit like a glove since he would be able to play over either Matteo Politano or Matthias Olivera in their scheme, two fine contributors but not world-class, depending on how aggressive they want to be. They surely haven’t been scared off by large price tags since Conte took over.
