Liverpool
Liverpool has been tracking the Serie A left-back “for months,” with a £25 million price tag.

Patrick Dorgu, a youthful full-back for Lecce, has reportedly caught Liverpool’s attention “for months,” according to an Italian source.
The 19-year-old Dorgu had a fantastic season in Serie A last year, making 32 appearances for Lecce, who finished in a respectable 14th place.
Senior football’s breakout season saw the left-back, who scored twice in 17 league starts, dazzle, and as a result, top European teams are showing interest in the Denmark under-21 international.
Although Dorgu is valued by several Premier League teams, he has previously been connected to various Serie A powerhouses, including Milan, Napoli, and most recently, Atalanta, the winners of the Europa League.
The Reds is Among the Patrick Dorgu suitors
PianetaLecce reports that three English teams have expressed interest in Dorgu. Liverpool is one of them. Although the Reds have been “following him for months,” Tottenham and Arsenal have also taken notice of the teenager and are impressed. He was reportedly scouted by the Gunners last season, and they are ‘pushing’ for a trade.
Dorgu, who is also a left winger, is anticipated to go this summer as Lecce looks to cash in on one of their assets. The Italian team is asking about €30 million (£25 million). The Lecce star is apparently eager to make a lucrative move overseas.
Liverpool’s interest in Dorgu has not been previously published, thus it is unclear how credible these rumours are.
In the upcoming weeks, Liverpool is not anticipated to bolster their left-back lineup. Arne Slot, the new head coach, seemed happy with Andy Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas, and even Joe Gomez playing in that position.
However, the Reds had problems last season due to injuries at left-back, and they could need to look soon for a player to fill that position.
Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri has been loosely connected to Liverpool in recent weeks, but at this point in the transfer window, a move appears doubtful.
More news…..
The Euro 2024 midfielder is viewed by Liverpool as a player who can balance the midfield.
Joshua Kimmich, 29, of Bayern Munich, is reportedly a target for Liverpool to join this summer.
Arsenal, Manchester City, and Barcelona will compete with Liverpool to sign him. Tutto Juve claims that the midfield player is amenable to leaving the German powerhouses.
Kimmich’s exit from the Merseyside club appears likely, as new manager Arne Slot is hoping to recruit a midfield player during the transfer season.
Following Jurgen Klopp’s exit, the Reds will support their new manager in their efforts to bolster the roster and make additions.
Liverpool is prepared to sign a midfield player this summer, even though they made midfield additions last summer in response to the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Despite the fact that Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and other recent arrivals have given the Reds more midfield depth, they still believe that they need a midfield player who can play at the base, directly in front of the defence.
The Bayern Munich star Kimmich is seen by the Reds as the guy who can provide them stability in the middle of the park.
Kimmich would also provide the team more versatility because he can play right back as well.
A star from Bayern may be the perfect addition to Liverpool.
As a result, Liverpool would have more choices for the manager and the team to rotate between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kimmich at full-back and midfield, respectively.
Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester City are vying for Kimmich’s signature, and former Bayern manager Hansi Flick is eager to work with Kimmich again at Camp Nou.
After Klopp leaves, the Reds would gain the experience they need and a winning attitude by signing someone like Kimmich.
He should be available in a cheap contract because he will be a free agent come summertime.
