“No intention of changing clubs”: Barça defender’s agent addresses exit rumours

Barcelona defender Sergino Dest has been heavily linked with an exit in the ongoing transfer window.

The 21-year-old has been with the Blaugrana since 2020 having arrived from AFC Ajax. However, he has failed to nail down a spot in the lineup in the side since arriving, with the recent return of Dani Alves to Camp Nou further complicating matters for the right-back.

Dest, as a result, has been tipped to leave the club in the near future, with the likes of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid being touted as potential destinations. However, it is Bayern Munich who have been credited with the strongest interest in the USMNT international.

The Bavarian giants wanted to sign him before he joined Barcelona in 2020 and had made enquiries over his availability last summer as well. Now with reports of him being made available for a transfer, the German champions are seemingly back in the hunt again.

However, Michael Reschke, who works for the same company that represents the Barcelona defender, has told BILD (h/t SPORT), that the 21-year-old does not wish to leave the club currently. “He has no intention of changing clubs,” he said.

Reschke, who also served as Bayern Munich’s technical director in the past, added that a move to Bavaria for Dest in the summer later this year was also unlikely to materialise.

“I am quite sceptical about a possible move to Bayern this summer,” he added.

Dest’s contract with the Blaugrana runs till the summer of 2025. Recent reports indicated that the Catalan giants want a transfer fee of €30 million for his services. But with the 21-year-old unwilling to change clubs, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
