Barcelona are expected to continue their policy of signing promising young defenders in 2024 amid growing interest in Lecce star Patrick Dorgu.
Watch out for Lecce's 🇩🇰Patrick Dorgu (2004, LB).
Extremely dynamic full-back who's a star of Italy's best youth team. Genk and Troyes have already shown interest.#AvantiLecce #USLeccepic.twitter.com/kQId0BsX21

Summer links, via Dorgu’s agent Kingsley Ogbodo, claimed Barcelona have been scouting the 18-year-old left back, as part of a long term plan to bring him to Catalonia.
However, despite Barcelona’s interest in the former Nordsjælland defender, they are not the only club interested in making a move in the coming months.
As per reports from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Premier League giants Liverpool are the current front runners to complete a deal, as Jurgen Klopp seeks a long term successor to Andrew Robertson.
Manchester City are also monitoring Dorgu’s progress in Italy with both English teams planning for the future in terms of new left backs.
