Liverpool have been closely monitoring the progress of young talent Patrick Dorgu from Lecce. However, the 19-year-old has made it clear that he is not interested in any transfer speculations to Liverpool, although he does admit that it's always a good feeling to know that top clubs in Europe have their eyes on him.
Dorgu, who plays as a left-back, played a crucial role in Lecce's victory in the Italian U19 league, also known as Primavera, last season. This has earned him a reputation as one of the most sought-after young players in the Serie A. Apart from Liverpool, AC Milan and Barcelona have also been linked with the Denmark U21 international, prompting the club to extend his contract until 2027.
With constant rumors surrounding his future, Dorgu is determined to stay grounded and focused on his current team, Lecce, who are currently placed 13th in the Serie A table. In a recent interview with Danish publication Tipsbladet, the young full-back acknowledged that it is flattering to be linked with big clubs in Europe, but his main priority is to perform well for Lecce.
"I try not to think too much about the interest from other clubs. Right now, I am fully committed to Lecce and I want to give my best for the team and myself," Dorgu said.
Despite his focus on Lecce, Dorgu did admit that the interest from top clubs like Liverpool, Milan, and Barcelona gives him extra motivation to continue performing at his best. "It's always a good motivation to know that big clubs are keeping an eye on you. It pushes me to work even harder and reach my full potential," he said.
Liverpool currently have two established left-backs in Andy Robertson and Konstantinos Tsimikas, with Joe Gomez also providing cover in their absence. However, Dorgu's impressive performances have caught the attention of the Reds, who have reportedly sent scouts to watch him in action multiple times this season.
Dorgu's potential transfer to Liverpool would add depth to their squad, especially with Robertson's recent injury troubles. The Scotland international made his return to the team against Norwich after being out since October due to a shoulder injury.
In the end, Dorgu remains focused on his current team and is determined to continue working hard to reach his goals. "I will keep working hard and we'll see what the future holds," he said. With his dedication and talent, Dorgu has a promising future ahead of him, whether it's with Lecce or at a top club like Liverpool.
