Manchester United weighing up €20 million move for Barcelona misfit

English publication Talksport has recently offered a shocking update on the future of Sergino Dest.

The Barcelona right-back is facing an uncertain future at Camp Nou as he is not highly rated by Xavi. The player has failed to impress the Barcelona coach, who is holding out for other options in the market.

Dest, meanwhile, has been listed in the transfer market, with Barcelona actively looking for suitors for the American international.

As per Talksport, Manchester United have emerged as a potential suitor for Dest. The Premier League giants are weighing up a fresh move for the Barcelona defender, as part of their plan to reinforce the fullback department.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s struggles at Old Trafford have been well documented, which has forced the club to go after a fresh right-back that can provide competition for Diogo Dalot in this new season.

That is where Dest comes into the fray. Although the American international has struggled at Barça, he is rated highly by coach Erik ten Hag. The Man United boss had worked with him during their time together at Ajax and it appears a reunion could soon be on the horizon.

The report suggests Manchester United are plotting a bid of around €20 million for Dest. Such a figure could be enough to convince Barcelona, who are desperate to sanction the sale of the former Ajax starlet this summer.

The Catalans have already started their search for replacements, with Thomas Meunier emerging as one of the potential options.

Signing the Borussia Dortmund star might not be a walk in the park, though, with the Bundesliga giants reportedly holding out for a fee of €10 million. Villarreal starlet Juan Foyth is the other alternative for FC Barcelona this month.
