Is Xavi wrong? The reasons why Dest should continue at Barça

The uncertainty in the FC Barcelona with the right side is absolute. After it confirmed the exit of Dani Alves this summer, the efforts of the culés focused in the possible traspaso of César Azpilicueta, but the navarro finish renewing his agreement with Chelsea by two seasons. This left to the Barça with two alternatives 'natural' for the position: Òscar Mingueza, that left to the Celtic of Vigo, and Sergiño Dest, the one who same hour is in the door of exit of the Spotify Camp Nou.

Also they are the alternatives of Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé (no inscribed) that, in spite of being central, can manage in said position. They fulfil to defensive level, but loses to the hour to attack. In the case of Sergi Roberto, is midfield player but carries several years playing like side. From it does time has not seen his best version and the Barça extended his agreement until the summer of 2023.

Sergiño Dest Had all the chevrons to be the right side of the Barça, but Xavi Hernández has it descartado directly: "Already it knows which is the situation", said. The international with United States is in the market and the Barcelona plan to sell him by 15 or 20 million euros to recover the investment that did in 2020 by his signing from the Ajax, that did not surpass the 18 'kilos'. Up to now, that is the only plan of the culés and, to eleven days that it finish the market, neither has achieved him a club neither much less a possible replacement. And it will be difficult to achieve, seen the seen.

It can not argue the decisions that take from the staff technical of the Barça, place are they those who see day in day out to the players train, but what himself is true is that the case of Dest generates, as little, uncertainty. Although it is true that the past season was conditioned by an important quantity of injuries, added 2.040 minutes of game, with four assistances. It played like right and left side and also like extreme, although it finish turning into the acting of Dani Alves in the second stretch of the course.

Dest Has not achieved to do with a fixed place in the Barça, at least from the exit of Ronald Koeman ands iempre has asked him more in his defensive facet, put to the hour to go out to the attack never has desentonado. It is not Dani Alves and neither approaches him, but yes that has stood out in the situations of one against one or his capacity to give continuity to the played in which it involves with pause and winning time to look for to a mate to the that, for example, centre. Another of his fortresses.

It is a quite explosive footballer, and this plays him so much in favour as against, put sometimes has sinned for that. it Can excusarse with his age, 21 years, because it still is a quite young footballer that, surely, has not reached his ceiling to level futbolístico. Of there that it result so rare that the Barça want to 'undo' of him so quickly, especially because with his exit would not remain a natural right-handed side and the operations of Juan Foyth or Thomas Meunier, the 'favourite' of the culés, are not neither directed. And it would be very costly, fits to highlight.

And if at the end it does not reach to fichar...

If the Barça definitively attains to sell to Sergiño Dest (the Manchester United would be interested), understands that it will be to inscribe to Jules Koundé in case that before they do not concretise the sales of Memphis (Juventus) and Aubameyang (Chelsea). That is to say, it understands that, for the moment, it is a subject that goes further of the sportive and that answers to the need of the culés to generate 'fair play' financial with exits that leave plusvalías.

This would leave to the Barça in a quite complicated situation of face to the possible incorporation of a right-handed side. It will be necessary to go back to generate 'fair play' and the tiempocorre against. The culés would remain definitively without a natural player for the position and delegating the responsibilities to Ronald Araújo (that it is "learning" to be lateral, as it recognised), Sergi Roberto... Or 'fish' in the filial.

When Dest 'seated' to Sergi Roberto

With the one of Reus the uncertainty is maximum, but foresees that this season will add a good quantity of minutes. Xavi trusts he and was the one who, in fact, insisted in his renewal. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that in the 2020-21 Dest 'seated' to Sergi in the bench, no 'thank you' to Ronald Koeman but by the irregularity of the canterano Barcelona, that carries several years moved away of his best version.
