The problem of the right-back position at FC Barcelona has not been solved yet, despite the club looking at a number of options during the last few months. As things stand, Barcelona might have to rely on one of their own players for this position, as the arrival of a quality player is not yet finalized.
Sergino Dest could be a solution for Xavi for this problem. The American spent the last season on loan at AC Milan, but this season lacked highlights, either positive or negative. The player was unable to endear himself to the Italian club and has now returned to the Catalans.
According to Mundo Deportivo, despite this inconspicuous loan term, the Catalan club still has confidence in the American fullback. The club will give Dest another opportunity to impress Xavi in this pre-season, and his future will depend on his performances in this set of games and training sessions before the next season starts.
The player has been on the market, but no offers have yet been received. Meanwhile, Xavi also wants a fullback, and the strained financial conditions of the club mean they will have to compromise on one of these demands, as a holding midfielder is also an urgent requirement for the club.
Thus, as the club wants to finalize the transfer of Romeu as a priority, the signing of a right-back might be postponed to the next transfer window. Thus, Dest can be the fullback that Xavi wants for the next season.
He already has the characteristics that Xavi is looking for, i.e., defensive stability, while contributing to the attack. Such a right-back is also rare in the current market; thus, Dest will be given a chance to impress in the upcoming tour, and hopefully, he will solve this fullback problem for the club.
