There's a case for Dest: He could stay at Barcelona!

Outgoing transfers have become a headache for Barcelona in recent years, but this summer they are well on track at this stage.

In fact, the Catalan giants have already finalized or are about to finalize deals for the players Xavi will not be keeping for next season. The only one whose destination is not yet clear is Sergino Dest.

Thanks to this major push from the technical department, the Catalan coach could be able to forego the list of players called up for the United States tour this season and simply take all the first team players with him.

Last summer he had to leave Neto, Oscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig, Martin Braithwaite and Samuel Umtiti in Barcelona.

Barcelona started with five urgent departures on the table: Umtiti, Trincao, Dest, Lenglet and Collado.

The French defender had already cancelled his contract with Barcelona last week.

In the case of the striker, Sporting exercised the option to buy the player under the loan contract if the Portuguese club retained their top-flight status.

Two departures close to being finalized

Umtiti and Trincao are already out of the club and Lenglet and Collado are expected to follow them this week.

The Catalan has not even started pre-season under the orders of Xavi, being granted permission to close his departure, which, as of today, points to Real Betis.

The Frenchman, on the other hand, did show up yesterday morning at the Ciudad Deportiva but agreed with Xavi to be absent until 18 July to define his future. Tottenham are working hard to sign him.

Therefore, there is only the case of Dest. The American finished a difficult loan spell at AC Milan.

The player was not part of the coach's plans for the whole season and only played 13 games in all competitions.

In any case, everything indicates that he will be part of the squad for the tour of the United States next week. For the moment he is in Xavi's squad.

Nico and Abde are different cases. The Catalan coach wants to see them in pre-season before making a final decision on their future.

The midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Valencia, has already joined the preparations, while the winger has a few more days off after winning the U-23 Africa Cup with Morocco.

His good performances in Osasuna during the 22-23 season and in the national team has aroused the interest of other clubs.
