Sergino Dest has reversed his situation, at least for now. During the winter transfer window, Dest was invited to consider offers for him to leave FC Barcelona. He rejected the idea, opting to stay at the Camp Nou, hoping to convince Xavi. So far, his plan has worked.
Barcelona signed Dani Alves to shore up the right-back position, and Alves has remained Xavi’s first choice when it comes to that spot. However, Dest has contributed as a substitute for Alves, as a replacement for him when he’s not available, and as the other fullback when Jordi Alba has not been ready.
