Barca slap price tag on Dest (reliability: 5 stars)

Barcelona are not prepared to sack Sergino Dest as has been previously reported. The Athletic says Barca have told the defender that he's up for sale.

Thus, Barca have slapped a price tag of €11m on the American right-back.

So far Barca are yet to receive any concrete offers for their defender but some sources say clubs in the MLS and Serie A could be interested in the player.

Barca will gladly take any good offer for Dest but his performances in preseason have failed to inspire any confidence. The Athletic confirms Barca are also open to a loan deal with some options.

Dest struggled during his loan spell in Milan last year and was considered a complete failure after featuring in just 14 games in all competitions.

Barcelona signed Dest from Ajax in 2020 for €21m. The player's market value has nosedived since then.
