Dorgu, who has made a strong impression at Lecce after a solid breakout season in 2023-24, has also been linked with moves to Premier League sides Tottenham and Chelsea.

Dorgu has recently put pen to paper on a new, long-term contract extension with Lecce, running until the summer of 2029, which means that clubs will likely have to offer a significantly higher transfer fee if he is to leave the Salentini in the near future.
