The FC Barcelona is negotiating with Man Utd for the transfer of Sergio Dest. According to the newspaper SPORT, the Blaugrana team wants to close the departure of the American side for about 20 million euros. Although Manchester wants to lower the price, the information indicates that the American defender could head to the Premier League transferred. The English team was already interested in Dest in the De Jong operation, but now it is set for his signing.
The SPORT newspaper reports that FC Barcelona’s intention is to end the Dest issue next week, once LaLiga has started. The departure of the American from Barça would mean the income of more money to be invested in the arrival of Marcos Alonso, who is totally paralyzed by the economic issue. Dest’s move to Manchester United is expected to close soon, following last-minute approval from Xavi Hernández and Joan Laporta.
