Patrick Dorgu will undergo his Manchester United medical and sign his contract on Sunday.
This is according to European transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
“Patrick Dorgu will become Man United player for €30m plus €5m add-ons from Lecce, as expected,” the Italian journalist wrote on X.
“Medical booked and contracts to be signed by Sunday.”
Dorgu was an unused substitute in Lecce’s 3-1 win away to Parma on Friday night, as a double from Santiago Pierotti and a first-half strike from Nikola Krstovic helped the team to its sixth league win this term.
Despite not featuring in the game, all eyes were on the 20-year-old after the full-time whistle knowing his imminent exit.
Dorgu was captured waving goodbye to the travelling supporters in emotional scenes.
United manager Ruben Amorim anticipates Dorgu will be an ideal fit for his 3-4-2-1 system which relies heavily on wing-backs providing width on the flanks.
Dorgu also provides a solution to United’s longstanding woes at left-back due to the long-term unavailability of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
In Shaw and Malacia’s absence, Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot – two right-backs by trade – have been forced to fill in on the left side of defence.
