The dust had barely settled on Napoli’s victory at the Maradona stadium when Antonio Conte managed to ignite interest in their upcoming big match against AC Milan at San Siro on October 29th. While the focus should be on the pitch, a gesture by Conte has sparked discussions about an off-field battle in the transfer market, with Patrick Dorgu at the center of attention.
Calciomercato report how after Napoli’s controversial win, Conte went onto the field to shake hands and console the Lecce players. However, his interaction with Patrick Dorgu stood out, as the Napoli manager was seen whispering something in the young player’s ear, a moment that quickly spread across social media.
Dorgu, who turned 20 today, is a versatile player capable of playing as a right or left winger, and has been converted into a full-back when needed. His talent has not gone unnoticed, with AC Milan having long admired his left foot as a potential backup and future replacement for Theo Hernandez. However, negotiations with Lecce have not materialized, partly due to Dorgu’s continuously rising valuation.
Conte’s gesture is widely interpreted as a clear message of transfer intent. Napoli’s interest in Dorgu isn’t new; sporting director Manna has been following the player since his time at Juventus. In a scenario where Olivera could transition to a left-sided center-back role, Dorgu could be the future talent to alternate with Spinazzola.
This off-field rivalry between Milan and Napoli over Dorgu is expected to intensify and potentially impact their on-field encounters. As one source put it, “It’s already Milan-Napoli, even in the transfer market.”
The young Danish player of Nigerian descent, who was snatched by Corvino from Nordshaelland, finds himself at the center of what promises to be an intriguing transfer saga between two of Italy’s biggest clubs.
