Manchester United made a decisive move to secure young Denmark international Patrick Dorgu from Lecce in the January transfer window. Despite Lecce's resistance and plans to retain the player until summer, United's persistence and financial offer led to a record transfer. Lecce's president, Saverio Sticchi Damiani, emphasized that this deal was not initially planned but ultimately benefits the club's future and finances. The strong approach from Manchester United played a key role in the transfer unfolding sooner than expected.
Manchester United clearly weren't taking no for an answer when they made their move to sign Patrick Dorgu from Lecce in this January's transfer window. The talented young Denmark international had impressed a great deal in Serie A, and it earned him a big move to Old Trafford this winter.
It's also clear that MUFC paid enough to make it a very significant piece of business for Lecce's future. "It is our record transfer and it happens in our moment of great economic health," Damiani said.
"We said several times that Dorgu would not leave in January, and now I will explain why the opposite happened."
The English communicated their intentions strongly, despite Lecce’s insistence to postpone the transfer until summer, showing the determination of Manchester United to secure the young talent.
