The situation
The coach has decided to give the American winger another chance, who could end up competing with Azpilicueta on the right wing. Sergino Dest will not enter into any barter or transfer operation this summer. The sports area has decided that the American international will continue for at least one more year. Key in this decision has been Xavi Hernández, who considers the player an important element in his challenge to set up a squad that is as competitive as possible. And it is that, on the right wing, Dest will have to compete, not only with Sergi Roberto, a player that the coach has defended tooth and nail for his versatility, but almost certainly with César Azpilicueta. Negotiations with the Chelsea captain are well advanced and the club hopes to announce his signing next week. Thus, if the arrival of the Spanish international is confirmed, Xavi would have two very high-level players for the right-hand side -Azpilicueta and Dest-, in addition to the alternative of Sergi Roberto, without forgetting either Ronald Araújo, who completed last season great games playing in that position. There is no doubt that, after the club’s decision to dispense with the services of Dani Alves, Dest’s options to continue at the club multiplied exponentially. Thus, from the sports management it has been totally ruled out that the player will enter this summer in any operation, be it transfer or barter. It must be remembered that his name appeared strongly in the operation for Jules Koundé, since Sevilla have been looking for a right back for a long time.
The details
However, this possibility has already been completely ruled out by both parties. We hope in the near future we will have answers to the question we asked today. Future will unveil all of the mysteries of this situation in particular. All we have to do is to wait and see what’s going to happen.
