SoloLecce, leaning partly on Rai for their information, report on Tuesday morning that Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United is what they term a ‘done deal’......Read The Full Article>>.....Read The Full Article>>
After a few days of not much happening at all, as Manchester United concentrated on facing Fulham and Lecce played against Inter Milan, there’s now claims of a big and potentially decisive step forward.
According to the report, the two clubs have ‘reached an agreement’ for Dorgu’s ‘immediate’ transfer. That claimed agreement would be for an initial €35m payment and then a further €5m in possible bonuses.
It’s fair to say SoloLecce are out there in front with this, but then they were when reporting the initial meeting between Manchester United and Lecce.
Salento News are conveying the same as the above.
Tuesday’s edition of Corriere del Mezzogiorno reports the Red Devils have intensified contacts, although when they went to print the newspaper didn’t know of an agreement.
Corriere dello Sport’s Tuesday edition reports there was new contact on Monday to get closer to the €40m Lecce want.
Those bonuses are said to be much easier to achieve than what was initially proposed by Manchester United, so will be seen as genuine additional income fo the Serie A side.
Meanwhile, Fabio Lucioni, a former Lecce captain, is quoted by CalcioLecce as saying: “I would have already bought him a plane ticket. I say this in a positive sense, because he is a boy who has made an important journey in the youth sector and has shown that he can compete in a higher level of football than the one you experience in Lecce. So it is right that he goes.”
