Sergiño Dest will leave Barcelona this coming January and the American does not fit into Xavi’s plans. The footballer had opportunities but failed to stand out, neither as a winger nor as a winger.
Although there are several clubs interested in his signing, including Ajax, the team from which the young footballer left to head for the Catalan club, at this time Chelsea would appear strongly in the bidding.
The current European champion is clear that he must reinforce both sides and that is that while in the left-handed lane he has the loss of Chilwell, in the right-handed Azpilicueta he has not yet renewed. For Tuchel, Dest could be used as a left back as well, so he has given the green light to proceed with his signing.
Chelsea would bet on a transfer with a compulsory purchase option although Barcelona should not strain the rope too much if it wants to complete this operation, and the Blues have other options on the table such as Lucas Digne or Tagliafico.
