The Blues need cover at full-back with Ben Chilwell out injured, per the Express

Barcelona are trying to seal the Ferran Torres deal but they know they have to sell to afford to register him. Sergino Dest is one of those who is on the exit ramp.

The young American right-back is liked by clubs including Bayern Munich and Chelsea. The latter need to cover Ben Chilwell’s absence and according to the Express are looking at Dest, even though he’s a right-back. They say they are looking at making a 35m euro offer for the defender. Xavi has Dani Alves in the squad now to cover Dest’s position.

Relations between Barcelona and Chelsea are fluid and the Catalans are interested in Cesar Azpilicueta too. Barcelona paid 20m euros for Dest two summers ago so they could make a profit.
