In the summer, Chelsea fans were thrilled after successfully luring Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia away from Liverpool, and now they might replicate that excitement with Patrick Dorgu. Liverpool’s top midfield targets, Caicedo and Lavia, were pursued ardently, but they ultimately chose Chelsea over Jurgen Klopp’s team. Now, Liverpool has set their sights on Patrick Dorgu, an 18-year-old prodigy from Leece, Italy.
Dorgu, who made his Serie A debut at the beginning of the season, caught the attention of various clubs including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Barcelona. His agent, Kingsley Ogbodo, revealed that Liverpool expressed a keen interest in signing the young defender after witnessing his exceptional performances. However, Ogbodo advised Dorgu to decline Liverpool’s offer, highlighting the potential of playing primarily for the U23s rather than the first team.
Liverpool, Manchester City, and Barcelona continue to monitor Dorgu’s progress, but the aspiring defender has a specific Premier League club in mind—Chelsea. He expressed his dream to play for Chelsea, a team he has passionately supported for over a decade. Dorgu’s aspiration is fueled by a deep-rooted desire to don the Chelsea jersey and grace the field for a club he deeply admires.
Reflecting on Liverpool’s pursuits in the summer, they came very close to signing Moises Caicedo. A deal was agreed upon with Brighton and Hove Albion, even allowing Caicedo to undergo a medical at Anfield. However, to Liverpool’s dismay, Caicedo had a change of heart and opted solely for Chelsea. Romeo Lavia followed suit, delivering a significant blow to Jurgen Klopp’s plans. Despite this setback, Liverpool managed to recover well during the transfer window, but the memory of those pivotal days continues to rankle their supporters.
