TOP STORY: Dest wants Barcelona stay amid Chelsea, Atletico interest

Barcelona full-back Sergino Dest has been linked with a move away in the January transfer window, but Sport claims he's keen to stay at Camp Nou.

Dest, 21, has been targeted by a number of clubs in the build-up to the new year, including Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, and his agent has suggested a January departure could be likely as Barca look to rebuild both their squad and their finances amid €1.4 billion debt.

The U.S. international has registered three assists in 12 LaLiga appearances this season for the Blaugrana, but could see his playing time reduced with the return of Barca legend Dani Alves. President Joan Laporta confirmed on Monday that the 38-year-old Brazil international right-back will be officially re-registered as a Barcelona player this week.

Barca rejected several offers for Dest in the summer of 2021, but interest in him is bigger than ever.

Chelsea's pursuit stems from an injury to Reece James, which leaves Thomas Tuchel light in right-sided defensive options that fit his system. Atletico, meanwhile, are planning for life after Kieran Trippier, who appears likely to join Newcastle United, and boss Diego Simeone reportedly sees the American as the perfect replacement for the England international.

Sources have told ESPN that Atletico have already started their search.

I don’t see that being a good fit.

I don't love the idea of him playing for Tuchel, Simone is fucking awful.

Simeone is an Argentine y Atletico Madrid LEGEND!

But all 11 players on the pitch have to play defense like the porteños did fighting off British invasions in 1806 & 1807! (The British are just fucking pirates.)

Simeone is an excellent manager, he just plays an ugly, underdog style of fútbol.

Tuchel is a master at utilizing what is probably Dest's most intuitive position. Not sure why you'd be against it.
