Dest chose to stay at Barcelona despite interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
[골닷컴] Reporter Choi Dae-hoon = FC Barcelona defender Sergiño Dest has chosen to stay despite interest from Manchester United and Chelsea in the Spanish La Liga.
On the 29th (local time), British media ‘The Sun’ reported that “Dest has announced that he will remain in Barcelona despite interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.”
Barcelona have signed several new players through the summer transfer window, including Robert Lewandowski, Hapinha, Jules Kunde and Andreas Christensen. Barcelona, who are not financially comfortable, tried to sell their existing players to register their squad and pay their weekly wages, but Dest was also one of the players on the ‘release list.
However, ‘The Sun’ quoted a report from Fabrizio Romano, who is strong in the transfer market, saying that Dest is expected to remain in Barcelona and compete for the first time.
Manchester United and Chelsea, who were keeping an eye on Dest’s path, were hurt by his announcement to stay. Manchester United’s new manager, Erik Ten Haach, was interested in signing him as he dealt with death as AFC Ajax manager, while Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was in talks to replace Cesar Aspilicueta with Barcelona. recruitment was required.
Ten Haach, who is in the process of rebuilding Manchester United, has strengthened the left side by signing Tyrell Malasia, and now wants to reinforce the right side. Manchester United’s existing resource, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, doesn’t fit in with Ten Haach’s system, and Diogo Dalot has appeared in all four pre-season games and has a chance, but he can’t play every game next season. Candidates are needed.
Chelsea’s situation is a little different from United’s, but the fact that they need to strengthen their defenders is the same. Most of the players who were in charge of defense last season have left the team or are preparing to leave. As such, it can be seen that reinforcement of the defenders is more urgent than United, but it was all in vain with Dest’s declaration to remain.
Dest, who joined Barcelona ahead of the 2020-21 season, showed off his skills to the fullest by playing 44 games since his debut season. However, his position gradually disappeared when Barcelona signed Dani Alves in the 2021-22 season.
DEST was not able to properly digest the season due to frequent injuries, and public opinion was formed that he would transfer to another team in the summer. Manchester United and Chelsea have approached Dest, but he is likely to choose to stay and continue his rivalry at Barcelona.

In discussions with Lille for several weeks, Paris Saint-Germain has finally reached an agreement for midfielder Renato Sanches. And the Portuguese international will obviously land with the reigning French champion as part of a loan with a fixed purchase obligation of 10 million euros.
Renato Sanches is getting closer to PSG.
On this summer transfer window, the sports adviser of Paris Saint-Germain Luis Campos has adopted a clear course of action: the Portuguese leader refuses to overpay the players and sets, on each file, a limit in the negotiations.

Sanches prt Paris ?
Despite persistent competition from AC Milan, PSG prolonged the discussions by refusing to pay the 15 million euros claimed by LOSC. While Campos had precisely the intention of accelerating on this file this week, the Portuguese daily O Jogo announced on Friday an agreement between the two French teams for the Portuguese international.
And surprise, Paris would have succeeded in negotiating a loan with an obligation to purchase an estimated 10 million euros for the former Bayern Munich player! If this news is confirmed, it is a particularly interesting operation at an affordable cost for the reigning French champion, helped in the negotiations for the absolute will of the 24-year-old talent to join the capital club.
A formula like for Ekitike
Such a deal is obviously reminiscent of the agreement made by Paris for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike, recently recruited on loan with a fixed purchase obligation of 36 million euros. With this formula, the PSG, in particular vis–vis financial fair play and the DNCG, manages to relieve its accounts compared to the current accounting year by postponing the payment of these operations. A good business in perspective?

[공식 발표] After harpina? Barcelona beat Chelsea to sign Kunde
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Barcelona succeeded in signing Kunde, beating Chelsea this time following Hafinha. Now all that remains is to fine-tune the detailed conditions.
[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = Barcelona have signed French defender Jules Kunde from Sevilla.
On the morning of the 29th (Korean time), Barcelona announced the agreement to sign Kunde through the club’s official channel.
“Barcelona and Sevilla have agreed in principle to sign Jules Kunde,” the club said. He is expected to sign a transfer contract soon. It is also waiting to pass the medical test.”
According to local media, the contract period is until June 2027. The transfer fee is expected to be 50 million euros (regarding 66.1 billion won) plus an option amount of 10 million euros (regarding 13.2 billion won).
In many ways, Barcelona’s move this summer is unconventional. Although financial difficulties arose, it is in the midst of strengthening its power by showing a more aggressive move. High risk, high return.
Only this summer, he recharged his firepower by signing Hapinha and Lewandowski. He also succeeded in signing a new contract with Dembele, which was not easy.
The next task was to find a new starting center back, and Kunde was selected as the main character. Earlier, Barcelona brought Christensen, who had already signed a contract with Chelsea, as a free agent. Kessie, whose contract with Milan has expired, will also wear a Barcelona jersey for the new season.
In addition, the possibility of Chelsea’s Cesar Aspilicueta and Marcos Alonso joining Barcelona has been raised.
At first, Kunde seemed more likely to go to Chelsea rather than Barcelona. However, Barcelona succeeded in hijacking the Kunde following winning the competition once morest Chelsea.
Chelsea, on the other hand, lost their heads in the competition to sign Kunde following Hafinha, losing to Barcelona. After signing Coulibaly, Chelsea were looking for another centre-back. The player mentioned at this time was Kunde. Rumors were raised that a transfer to Chelsea was imminent, but the situation was twisted when Barcelona joined the fight.
This summer, Chelsea gave up Christensen to Barcelona on a free agent basis, and they also lost to Barcelona in the race to sign Rafinha. This time, even Kunde missed, and the bad relationship with Barcelona continued.
Meanwhile, Kunde is a central defender born in 1998. He is short but has good jumping ability. He has already been at the top of the league in Sevilla and has received love calls from big hands. Although there have been rumors of a transfer to Chelsea since last season, Kunde’s final option was Barcelona.
