Manchester United Have Been Offered the Chance to Sign €18m Rated Barcelona Right-back

Sergino Dest, Manchester United

Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign FC Barcelona defender Sergino Dest this summer, as per latest reports. It is believed that the 21-year-old full-back doesn’t have a future at Camp Nou as he is not part of coach Xavi Hernandez’s long-term plans.

The USMNT international joined the Catalan giants from Ajax in 2020. He made gradual progress and showed promising signs during the first one-and-a-half years with Barcelona. However, he has been hopping in and out of the first team since Xavi Hernandez became the coach and brought back Dani Alves in January 2021.

The 21-year-old has made 72 club appearances, acquiring three goals and four assists (stats via FC Barcelona). In the 21/22 campaign, he has turned out 31 times for the Blaugrana across all competitions and assisted thrice (stats via Transfermarkt). The youngster is a rough diamond who needs a little polishing. Thus, a potential move to the Premier League could mean a revival of his career.

According to 90min, Barcelona have asked Sergino Dest to look for a new club this summer, with intermediaries looking to find a way out and Manchester United are among the first clubs to have been contacted. The Red Devils have a long-standing interest in the American full-back.

The Catalan giants are looking to offload the defender in a permanent move. However, if United are not interested in a permanent deal this summer, the Blaugrana would be willing to consider a temporary move for the player.

There is a lot of uncertainty circling the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Manchester side are open to a loan move for the English defender, with Crystal Palace looking to sign their former defender ahead of the 2022-23 season. Thus, his departure will force the Red Devils to sign a replacement right-back and the Barcelona full-back is one such viable option.

Although not a priority, new boss Ten Hag is looking to bring in a new-right-back at Old Trafford and he is interested in potential deal involving Dest. The American defender came through at Ajax under the Dutchman and would love to reunite with his former boss.

Sergino Dest is a viable target for Manchester United and they are keen on signing the Barcelona defender to bolster their backline. However, they aren’t the only club keeping an interest in the right-back. Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have also been contacted while Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are monitoring the situation as well.
