By db-admin
DBasia.news – Barcelona officially brought in Sergino Dest from Ajax. Ronald Koeman, the Blaugrana manager, assessed that the arrival of the Dutch – American player will be useful for his club.
Barcelona brought in Sergino after paying the initial funding of 21 million euros, plus a potential of 5 million euros through several additional variables. Quoted from Marca, Thursday (1/10), Dest signed a contract until 2025 with a release clause of 400 million euros.
”He (Dest) will be a useful player for Barcelona. Despite his (young) age, Dest has played in many professional football matches, including some in the Champions League. He has to compete with other full-backs, ” said Barcelona coach, Ronald Koeman.
Bayern Munchen actually also wanted to obtain Dest. However, Barcelona’s close relationship with Ajax led to the right-back’s move to Camp Nou. What attracted the Blaugrana to the 19-year-old player was his attacking quality.
Dest scored two goals and six assists last season. Dest came to replace Nelson Semedo, who previously moved to Wolves. Dest is able to play as a right or left defender, making him more flexible. This American-Dutch player played his first match with the United States national team in 2019.
