Reasons for Sergino Dest to Join Barcelona

DBasia.news – Barcelona won the battle for young right-back, Sergino Dest from Bayern Munich. Dest stated his reason for choosing Barcelona over Bayern.

Apart from Barcelona, Bayern has indeed become one of Dest’s biggest enthusiasts. Several times Bayern has tried to approach the player. But in the end Dest landed at the Camp Nou.

Sergino Dest admitted that he had followed his heart when he chose to join Barcelona instead of Bayern. He promised to do whatever it takes to help Lionel Messi.

Barcelona defeated Bayern in the hunt for the United States right-back, who moved from Ajax for a whopping 26 million euros. Dest signed a five-year contract with a release clause worth 400 million euros.

“Bayern is a great club and there is interest from them, but I followed my heart. That’s why I joined Barca. I think this is the right decision,” the 19-year-old player told the club’s official website.

“They are a club with so much history and I always wanted to play here.”

Dest is excited about the prospect of becoming Messi’s teammate. “It’s amazing to play with the best player in the world, Lionel Messi, I admire him,” added Dest.

“I will run as hard as I can, I will run for everyone in the team. It will be great to meet the best players in the world.”

In addition, Ronald Koeman’s presence also influenced Dest’s decision making. “Koeman is of course influential, because he is Dutch and it will be easier to communicate with him,” said Dest.

Meanwhile, another factor that is not important is Dani Alves. It’s no secret, Dest idolizes Dani Alves a lot. He wants to follow in the footsteps of the Brazilian right-back.

“My role model is Dani Alves, a great right-back, in the same position as me. Watching his clips on YouTube, I learned a lot from him and I can still learn a lot from him because his team mates are still here like Lionel Messi and I can ask for his advice. I want to be a player like him. “
