Lecce looks to Cagliari for after Dorgu

Patrick Dorgu è is getting closer and closer to leaving Lecce. The Danish full-back è is ready to become a new player for Manchester United, which will pay 30 million euros plus 7.5 bonuses into the Salentini’s coffers. According to reports from Sky Sport, the player è expected in Manchester already on Thursday for medical examinations and contract signing with the Red Devils.

Soì, the Giallorossi management è already working to identify a replacement for Dorgu. In particular, according to information from the ‘Quotidiano di Puglia’, Lecce has reportedly set its sights on Tommaso Augello, class of 1994 whose contract with Cagliari expires at the end of the season.

Augello is liked by coach Giampaolo, who has already coached him in his Sampdoria days between January and October 2022. The 30-year-old left-sided flanker is finding little space with Nicola in the last period and could relaunch himself with the Giallorossi jersey.

In this first part of the season, with the Cagliari shirt, Augello has made 25 appearances between Serie A and Coppa Italia, making four assists.

“Arvid Brorsson è a new player for Monza. The defender, from Mjällby, signed a contract with the red and white club until June 30, 2027. Welcome Arvid!”, reads the official note issued Wednesday by the Lombard club.

Brorsson, born in the city of Örebro 25 years ago, è a 193 cm tall defender. In his career, in addition to his hometown, he has worn the jerseys of Örgryte and Mjällby, also in Sweden. In all, there are 92 appearances for him so far in the Allsvenskan.
