Sergiño Dest doesn't want to leave Barça with his situation is getting more rooted

Sergiño Dest is not part of Xavi Hernández's plans and Barça want to place him on the market, but he has no intention of leaving the Blaugrana, convinced that he will end up playing.

Barça have even opened up the option of loaning him out with an option to buy, but the American prefers to stay, at least until the World Cup in Qatar.

Manchester United have him on their transfer list, although they need to release one of their full-backs before signing him and it is unlikely that this will happen in the remaining days of the transfer window.

Xavi has made public his opinions on the player. He feels that the American is not a good fit for his tactical scheme.

Barça believe he is a highly valued player on the market and their priority was to sell him for around 20 million euros. For now, no offers have arrived matching these figures and the player's entourage do not want to rush into signing him for a project that does not fit in with Dest's projection.

Staying until January and thus postponing the decision is better suited to waiting for better opportunities.

The final decision on Dest's future was taken at the beginning of August and this has not made it easier to find opportunities for the full-back.

Barça do expect to sign a right-back because Xavi wants to strengthen this flank, although Dest's decision could upset the plans.
