Recent Form Can Convince Patrick Dorgu to Sign for Napoli in January Transfer Window
Patrick Dorgu has been enjoying a good run of form this season, playing for Lecce. Many top teams have eyed the 20-year-old Danish player. But it looks like, now, Napoli are in pole position to sign him and improve their squad in the January transfer window.
Dorgu, a Sought After Wing-Back
The Danish international, who seems to have more suitors than a pop star on a world tour, has Europe’s top clubs tripping over themselves to secure his signature. Napoli, Chelsea, and Manchester United are just a few of the heavyweights battling for his services, with a €40m price tag dangling tantalizingly in the air.
Napoli, ever the eager courter, seems to have the edge. According to reports, Dorgu has given them the ultimate green light: a firm “call me, maybe.” The Partenopei are reportedly ready to cough up €32m for the young star, hoping to outmanoeuvre the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in what’s becoming a transfer saga worthy of a Netflix drama.
Dorgu’s rise is a quick one, although teams certainly view him still as a prospect rather than as an immediate starting player. After joining Lecce in 2022 from Nordsjaelland’s youth setup, he’s racked up an impressive 51 appearances in Serie A, showcasing his versatility, speed, and penchant for causing headaches for defenders. His performances didn’t go unnoticed on the international stage either, earning him his first senior cap for Denmark this year.

Dorgu’s Versatility
One of the reasons for the massive interest can be attributed to Patrick Dorgu‘s incredible versatility. While, this season, he has been used, most often, as a right-sided winger, Dorgu can play on either flank, in midfield as a full-back, or even in the centre of the pitch.
This is the sort of versatility that nouveau-rich teams like Manchester City or Real Madrid typically like to spend big money for.
And although there’s room (and time) for growth, the Danish player possesses impressive technical skills. Dorgu is a good tackler, tactically disciplined, and good in the air. His passing and decision-making may still need work.
Most likely, Antonio Cont would prefer using Dorgu as a backup solution to either one of the two full-backs.
As the January transfer window looms, the big question remains: who will win the battle for Dorgu? While the Danish dynamo’s destination is still up in the air, one thing is certain—this is a transfer race worth watching. Stay tuned because this one’s heating up faster than a pizza oven in Naples.
