Dorgu’s agent, Kingsley Ogbodo, told Danish outlet Bold via Sport Witness that Liverpool had made contact with him in June 2023. However, Ogbodo suggested that Jurgen Klopp and his team should wait for another club to come calling. He stated, “Liverpool want him. Liverpool have been watching him and interested in him for some time, but if he goes there, he’ll have to play in the U23 team.
He added that Liverpool is not the only club interested in Patrick, as he is also being watched by Manchester City, Lecce, and Barcelona.
Dorgu’s rejection of Liverpool’s advances over 18 months ago was a turning point in his career, and he is expected to stay with Lecce until 2025. Ogbodo stated, “Two more seasons so he can mature and gain experience. So when he moves on to a bigger club in a few seasons, we will know at that time that he is ready for it.”
