Patrick Dorgu is one of the candidates to replace Theo Hernandez. Because if it is true that the Frenchman continues to have a two-year contract, next season he will only have twelve months left to expire and, at least for now, the renewal seems further away. If Fonseca were to stay for a long time it could be even more difficult, but that’s another matter. A running left-back with decent technical skills, the Dane had already been observed for a long time by Geoffrey Moncada and there had also been a decidedly important approach for him, when he was still eighteen and had just come out of the Lecce Primavera. Excellent first in Serie A, almost as if it were a confirmation.
This year, however, Luca Gotti made him play on the right as an attacking winger, thus justifying the measure. “I agree on the goodness of the chain with Gallo on the left, but I have a team to put together and I have to make all the accounts balance. The choice of Dorgu on the right is to try to give a better area of the pitch to Rebic, who would be penalized on the right. Everyone liked the chain with Gallo, we all benefited from it and we will be able to benefit from it in the future too.”
Meanwhile, Dorgu has renewed until 30 June 2029 and Milan are still following him. But there are also Chelsea and Tottenham, plus another fair number of clubs. Patrick Dorgu turns 20 today.
