In principle, the full-back would stay at the Catalan club.

Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, members of the Barça board, were also present. One of the topics of conversation was Sergino Dest.

The English side are interested in the American full-back and intends to include his transfer in negotiations for Cesar Azpilicueta or Marcos Alonso, both of whom are wanted by the Catalan club.

However, as reported by ‘Sport’, Barça does not want to part ways with the player in this market and Dest does not want to leave the squad.

Xavi Hernandez believes the American will play an important role in the team.
