Juventus FC Eye Dorgu but Face Fierce Competition from SSC Napoli and AC Milan

Juventus FC is one of several clubs closely monitoring Patrick Dorgu, Lecce's promising left-back. According to Tuttosport, a Juventus scout was spotted at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Monday, observing the 18-year-old during Lecce's clash with Venezia. Dorgu, who has been on the Bianconeri's radar for months, was previously considered a target by sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli last summer before the club opted to sign Facundo González Cabal from Verona.
A Three-Way Battle Intensifies
US Lecce made it clear during the summer window that Dorgu was not for sale, anticipating a significant rise in his market value. This strategy seems to have paid off, as the Danish defender has already netted three goals in 12 appearances this season, catching the eye of several top clubs.
SSC Napoli are reportedly interested in the young talent, with Conte keen on Dorgu since his arrival in Naples. A.C. Milan could also enter the race if they decide to sell Theo Hernandez, while Chelsea and Tottenham have expressed interest from the Premier League.
Unlikely January Move
Despite growing interest, a January move for Dorgu appears improbable unless an exceptional offer is made or a creative deal is structured. Lecce remains firm in their valuation, and the possibility of a bidding war looms large.
Juventus, dealing with injuries to Cabal, are exploring alternative options to reinforce their squad. Among these is Chelsea's Ben Chilwell, who is reportedly set to leave Stamford Bridge. Giuntoli is also said to be considering other potential signings, with Tuttosport suggesting that Juventus may have a surprise move lined up as they navigate the transfer market.
