One of the greater 'puzzle' that it has to resolve Xavi Hernández for the next season is who will occupy the right side of his team. The egarense has asked him to the FC Barcelona the signing of César Azpilicueta to occupy the right-handed band from the next season since it considers to navarro like the ideal piece to be the attendant of said demarcation, by what from the dispatches of the club already work in his contracting.

However, the incorporation of the footballer will not be for nothing simple, since the trainer 'blue' Thomas Tuchel wants to follow having his captain in the staff and the 'rivalry' arisen between clubs during the market, topped with the signing 'stolen' of Jules Koundé by the Catalans, do that the exit of the footballer complicate increasingly. By this reason, the egarense has taken advantage of turns it by United States to study his options in the right lane of the field.

In this sense, the trainer of Terrassa has opted in the majority of the parties for moving to Ronald Araújo of the centre of the saga to the side of the defence, taking advantage of the power of the Uruguayan that has showed to know manage in a position that is not in which more comfortable feels . This approach of Hernández leaves in evidence that it does not have confidence neither in Sergiño Dest neither in Sergi Roberto, those who are the natural options with which explains to occupy the demarcation.

Nevertheless, in this small 'battle' in which they are leading the American and the canterano, is Roberto the one who splits with advantage in front of the eyes of Xavi. Both footballers formed part of the alignment of the ex midfield player along the pre-season, but the last crash in front of the New York Network Bull, in which Sergi substituted to Araújo in the principle of the second half and the ex of the Ajax did not see neither a minute, 'exposed' to the technician culé, the one who would prefer to the veteran before that to Dest.

It will go out of the City Condal?

The fault of minutes of Sergiño also could be a message regarding his future, which has been very questioned from the start of the market of signings. With the need to lighten the mass salarial and the presence of Azpilicueta in the horizon, the options of Dest to continue in the Camp Nou could be increasingly minimum. In spite of the rumours that have affirmed that Xavi would want him like acting of the current player of Chelsea, the true is that it is an active very 'apetecible' in the market and several teams would be after his steps, by what his exit could keep on being a possibility.
