Barcelona could benefit as Bayern Munich target former defender Sergino Dest | OneFootball

World Cup 2026 is already underway and the spectators have already witnessed some exciting games in this tournament. Several FC Barcelona players are set to get into action in this tournament, and the last night’s game between Brazil and Morocco saw a Blaugrana player, Raphinha, play his first game in this competition.

Furthermore, some former Barcelona players are also playing in this competition, and on some of these players, the Catalan club still has some rights. This is particularly the case with the USA international Sergino Dest, who put in quite an impressive performance in his national side’s 4-1 win over Paraguay.

This good performance on the biggest international stage was only a continuation of the good form he is also enjoying with the Dutch side PSV Eindhoven. Dest had joined the Eredivisie side after a difficult few seasons at Barcelona, and the latter club kept a 20% right on any income obtained from a future sale.

As SPORT has reported, his good performances for the USA and PSV mean he is also enjoying a lot of demand from the market, and the German giants Bayern Munich have emerged as a side particularly interested in his signing. He is expected to undertake a move for between €20-25 million, even though his valuation on Transfermarkt is €18 million.

For their part, Barcelona would definitely be hoping that Sergino Dest ends up changing clubs this summer, as this would bring in some, much needed, income for them as well, especially as they are set to lose their rights on two other former players, Oscar Mingueza and Mika Marmol, who are going to become free-agents on 30th June.

How he performs as the World Cup continues would play a key part in determining his valuation, and ultimately, what the Blaugranes would get from his possible move.
