Julian Nagelsmann eyeing FC Barcelona duo Sergiño Dest and Sergi Roberto
The new Bayern Munich manager is keen on signing the two players from the LaLiga giants, but neither of them want to leave the Camp Nou for the Bundesliga.
FC Barcelona is open to listen to offers from other teams that ask about Sergiño Dest and Sergi Roberto. But the two players have turned down multiple big money offers, because they want to stay with the LaLiga side.
US star Dest wants to stay at Camp Nou
According to multiple reports, the United States men’s international player is determined to stay at the Camp Nou and he has declined offers from Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and AS Monaco. It was also reported that Bayern Munich’s new manager, Julian Nagelsmann, is eager to sign Dest ahead of the start of the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.
"I want to play as much as possible you know. I also want to win trophies with this club and improve as a player," said Dest during an interview with FC Barcelona.
But Dest has told the bosses at Barcelona that he is going nowhere, so Bayern Munich might have to give up on his transfer. So the Bundesliga moved on to Sergi Roberto, a player that can play in different positions and Nagelsmann is keen on signing him, but they want to sign him on a one-year loan deal with the option to make the move permanent based on his performances.
Roberto’s contract with Barcelona expires in June 2022 and there are talks that the bosses will extend his stay, but nothing official yet. The 29-year-old has also been approached by AC Milan and Manchester City.
