The 19-year-old Danish U21 international has emerged as one of the hottest prospects in Italian football, attracting interest from European giants Juventus, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atletico Madrid.
Dorgu has impressed with his versatility this season, showcasing his talent at both left-back and on the left wing.

Juventus are particularly keen on the youngster, with director Cristiano Giuntoli identifying him as a potential star for the future.

Dorgu has already racked up 29 appearances for the club across all competitions, contributing two goals and an assist.
His performances have not only caught the eye of Europe's elite but have also been a key factor in Lecce's successful campaign.
With several clubs vying for his signature, Dorgu's future is set to be a major talking point in the upcoming transfer window.
