REPORT: Marina begins ‘negotiations’ as Chelsea are very interested to sign 17M Rated USA International star
According to Sport, Chelsea are “extremely interested” in Barcelona winger Sergino Dest.
However, According to the Catalan newspaper, Blues director Marina Granovskaia is in “negotiations” with Barcelona, with the American expected to be included in a prospective trade.
The La Liga team is interested in signing both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, but due to a lack of funds, they are willing to trade players instead.
Chelsea is allegedly interested in signing Dest and reserve goalkeeper Neto, according to Granovskaia. Dest was linked with a loan move to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window, but it now appears that the move will be permanent.
According to Sport, the USA international is worth roughly €20 million (£17 million), therefore it’s unclear whether Barcelona would agree to the exchange.
The interest in Neto is more unexpected, though it could indicate that Kepa Arrizabalaga is considering leaving Stamford Bridge in the near future.
