Sergino Dest is a player who Barcelona manager Xavi has expressed a wish to hang onto this summer.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This is true even if there have been rumors between the Catalan club with Chelsea throughout the current transfer window that he may be moving to Stamford Bridge.
The Spanish team is having an exceptional transfer window as they continue to be interested in bringing in Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.
Dest was apparently offered to Chelsea as a makeweight due to this desire, despite the fact that Thomas Tuchel is said to think highly of him.
Reece James can also play at right-center-back, therefore the Blues are rumored to be contemplating adding a right-back to their roster this summer to provide depth and competition.
The club allegedly made a last-minute attempt to sabotage PSG’s acquisition of Nordi Mukiele, but their interest arrived too late to have any impact on the discussions.
Following Xavi’s confirmation that the 21-year-old American is a part of his plans for the upcoming season, they will need to keep looking elsewhere if they want to strengthen in that area as well.
Xavi desires to retain Dest.
He remarked, “He defends effectively and is quick. He is a talented player who will be significant down the road.
Given the possibility that James will be forced to play more time in the back three, Chelsea supporters will be reluctant for the team to prioritize a natural right-back this season.
Although he has shown to be exceptionally powerful in that position, it appears that his attacking skills are hampered because he has emerged as one of the league’s top offensive threats.
But with the present connections to Denzel Dumfries, it appears that the scenario might materialize. However, given the current need for a reputable center-back, there may be a case for focusing on fellow Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.
