The club want to seal a deal for the Ajax right back with Nelson Semedo heading off to Wolves

Barcelona are putting their foot on the accelerator to sign Sergino Dest. The exit of Nelson Semedo to Wolves has added 30m euros into the coffers, which was necessary before making any moves. The Ajax defender may arrive at Camp Nou soon.

Barca face Villarreal on Sunday at Camp Nou with Sergi Roberto likely to start at right back in the meantime. Barca want Eric Garcia from Man City but for now Dest is the most likely next arrival. The club like his youth, versatility and most importantly, playing style.

He loves Barca too and put a move to face Bayern Munich on ice so he could come to Camp Nou. Barca have been speaking to Marco Overmars, the Ajax sporting director. They want Barca to edit their offer of 20m euros plus five in variables - not numerically but in the structure of the deal.

Ajax want more money now, but Barca want to pay as much as possible later.

Currently the new signings that Koeman has available are Miralem Pjanic, Pedri and Trincao, with the window shutting on October 5.
