Sergiño Dest hoping to show Bayern Munich they missed out

When Sergiño Dest left AFC Ajax, he had two of Europe’s biggest clubs after him: Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona. He chose the latter, although Bayern’s interest was extremely real. In fact, it was reported that they had agreed terms with him, before the American ultimately chose Barcelona.

The reason for his choice had a lot to with his ability to grow. Bayern were definitely the better team, and Barcelona were in a rebuilding process. Dest chose to play at Camp Nou because he thought he would have more opportunities to grow.

More than a year later, Dest is still very young, and remains a starter in most big games.
