Sergiño Dest: I want to stay and prove myself at Barcelona

United States right-back Sergiño Dest said he intends to fight for his place at Barcelona after an ill-fated loan spell at AC Milan last season.

"I see myself staying," Dest said Friday, ahead of Barcelona's preseason tour in the U.S. "Obviously, I have to prove myself during the preseason. I'm fully focused on myself at the moment, so it's up to me and I feel like I can and I will prove it. My mindset is to stay here and to have a really nice season."
