Agent: Liverpool, Man City and Barcelona want Dorgu - but he must stay with Lecce

The interest in Lecce fullback Patrick Dorgu is intensifying.

Liverpool were linked with the teenager earlier this week.

But now his agent has revealed Liverpool aren't the only major club keen on the 18 year-old Dane.

Kingsley Ogbodo told Bold: "Liverpool want him. Liverpool have been watching him and interested in him for some time, but if he goes there he will have to play in the U23 team.

"It's not the best for him, so I advise him not to do it. They can offer him a lot of money, but that's not what we're looking for right now. We focus on his career, development and playing time.

"Liverpool is of course not the only club that wants him. There are many clubs here in England who are keeping an eye on him.

"Manchester City kept an eye on him when he played against England for the U19 national team in Hobro in Denmark.

"Lecce's scout has also told me that Barcelona is also keeping an eye on Patrick, because he is a huge talent."
