As the Serie A season progresses, the eagerly anticipated match between Parma and Lecce is set to take place on Friday evening. Notably, Patrick Dorgu, who is poised to make a significant transfer to Manchester United, has not been included in Lecce’s starting line-up for this crucial encounter. Although he remains part of the matchday squad, his absence from the starting eleven raises questions about his immediate future with the club.
Dorgu’s impending move to Manchester United is reportedly valued at around €37.5 million, including potential add-ons. This transfer news has undoubtedly created a buzz among fans and analysts alike, particularly as it comes amid Lecce’s recent struggles on the pitch. Following a disappointing 4-0 defeat to reigning champions Inter, Lecce has opted for changes in their lineup, with Dorgu being one of the notable exclusions.
In addition to Dorgu, midfielder Lassana Coulibaly and forward Tete Morente have also been dropped from the starting eleven. They will be replaced by Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, and Jesper Karlsson as Lecce seeks to revitalize their performance against a challenging Parma side.
Parma, too, has made adjustments following their recent 3-2 loss to AC Milan. The team has seen three changes, with Enrico Delprato, Hernani, and Dennis Man making way for Giovanni Leoni, Mandela Keita, and Anas Haj Mohamed. Both teams are looking to bounce back from their recent defeats and will be keen to secure vital points in the league.
