Barcelona Agree Terms For Ajax Full-back Sergino Dest & End Max Aarons Pursuit by Oldboss(m): 12:58pm On Sep 23, 2020 |
Barcelona have agreed terms for Ajax
full-back Sergino Dest, opting to sign him
over Norwich City's Max Aarons.
19-year-old Dest enjoyed a breakthrough
campaign last season, making 36
appearances in all competitions and
laying on six assists.

His performances have earned him a
reputation as one of the most promising
young right-backs on the planet and he
is set to link up with his Barça
teammates soon. Ajax informed Dest he
was free to leave earlier this summer
and a source has told 90min that €20m
(£18.4m) deal has been agreed.
The United States international - who
has been capped three times - has
attracted interest from Bayern Munich
and Chelsea in the past but Barça were
always leading the race.
His arrival coincides with Nelson Semedo
sealing his Camp Nou departure. The
defender has secured a move to Wolves,
adding to the Premier League side's
already sizeable contingent of
Portuguese players. 90min understands
Barcelona are using his transfer fee in
order to finance a move for Dest.
The youngster's arrival also marks the
end of recent Barça's interest in Norwich
starlet Aarons.
The 20-year-old featured 36 times for
Daniel Farke's relegated Canaries during
the 2019/2020 Premier League season,
registering two assists. Despite his
meagre output, the Catalan giants'
interest in Aarons was genuine, though
he was also considered second choice to
Dest.
Sources close to the England Under-21
star have revealed that he was flattered
by the Catalan side's interest and he has
not yet given up on securing a move
away from Carrow Road during the
current transfer window. Manchester
City are very keen on the player, who
they first started scouting back in 2018.
However, the Citizens are currently
prioritising signing a new centre-back. |
