As several media report unanimously, Sergino Dest is said to be already on the way to the state capital of Bavaria. Neither his current club, FC Barcelona, nor FC Bayern Munich has so far confirmed the message. The right-back contract with the Catalans will run until mid-2025.
Chances and risks of a transfer
As “fussballtransfers” writes, the probability of seeing the American soon in the dress of the record champions seems to be very high. It is generally known that Barça is choking on the current debt level, so it would only be logical to get rid of as many staff as possible in order to be able to repay loans. With a current market value of 30 million euros, the professional would also bring in quite a lot of money. On the other hand, the South Germans need a defensive player on the right wing.
The last commitment in the same position was Bouna Sarr for eight million euros from Olympique Marseille. However, this never prevailed. However, there is a risk from the offensive urge of the 15-time national player of the United States. In return, this means that the right-footed player often lets his actual defensive tasks slip. That in turn makes your own team look bad, especially when attacking quickly on the wings on the outside lanes.
The game of Munich and the eventual role of Dest
Playing without the ball with the current autumn champion is very simple, but also effective. Even in the opposing half, you prevent the other team from building up by exerting pressure on the player in possession of the ball. If the defenders also back up, there is no protection at the back and the strikers would have run through relatively quickly, at least on the right side. If the 21-year-old wants to have a chance at Säbenerstrasse, he would have to acquire a new style of play.
