The summer transfer window is approaching, and there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings and goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Barcelona set price for Dest’s transfer
Barcelona could be willing to accept €25 million for United States full-back Sergino Dest, as has been reported by Marca.
It is felt within the Blaugrana that the right-back position is an area for improvement, so they are willing to let Dest go in order to make that happen.
This stance comes despite Xavi Hernandez feeling that the 21-year-old has made positive strides in recent months and has great potential.
While he doesn’t have a large salary compared to his teammates, offloading Dest would take €12m off the balance sheet.
His possible departure would be made even more likely if Cesar Azpilicueta joins Barca when his Chelsea contract ends in June, as has been previously reported. Sergi Roberto and Dani Alves could both stay even if Azpilicueta joins, paving the way for Dest to leave.
With that said, Barcelona are prioritising the signing of Azpilicueta before moving Dest on.
There has been plenty of interest in Dest in the past, especially before he joined Barcelona from Ajax Amsterdam in 2020. Linked clubs have included the likes of Bayern Munich and Chelsea, who could reignite that interest.
