Sergino Dest is one of the players close to leaving FC Barcelona and the club wants to find him a team as soon as possible. The Camp Nou have already opened negotiations with United. They are asking for 20 million for him, but the Red Devils want to include Diogo Dalot in the deal to get a discount. The Portuguese right-back, however, would not interest the 'Cule' entity.

The next destination of the American Sergino Dest could be in the Premier League. According to the latest reports, the defender could be between Chelsea and United.

'Sport' claims that, in the last few hours, Barça have opened negotiations with the team managed by Ten Hag. The asking price for their right-back is 20 million euros.​

United, who have been after Dest for a couple of weeks, will do everything they can to bring him to Old Trafford. That said, the 20 million that the 'Cules' are asking for the full-back seem excessive. They intend to get a reduction and, to do so, the would be willing to include Diogo Dalot in the deal.

Barcelona are scouring the market for a right-back. That is why United have put the Portuguese's option on the table, although in principle it is not an alternative that is being considered at the Spanish club, the Catalan newspaper stresses.

At the Camp Nou they are not considering a swap deal. They are only willing to send Dest to United if it is with a transfer. If the Red Devils do not accept, Chelsea would also be interested in the American, so Barcelona intends to use the reputation he has in the market to get those 20 million for him. The Premier League is his most likely destination.
