REPORT: Barcelona Target Dest as Semedo Replacement
Ajax's Sergino Dest is shaping up to be Barcelona's preferred new right-back, but the Blaugrana will have to stump up an eight-figure fee.
Nelson Semedo's proposed move to either Manchester City or Juventus looks set to pave the way for Barcelona to bring in a highly rated new right-back.
And the Catalan club know exactly what it will take to land their preferred target: €20million.
That is the fee Spanish newspaper Sport suggests will be enough to secure United States defender Sergino Dest when the transfer window reopens.
The Dutch-born full-back, who spurned Netherlands' interest in his international future, only recently graduated from Ajax's youth setup, making 15 Eredivisie starts before the coronavirus pandemic curtailed his breakthrough 2019-20 campaign.
