Transfer fee yet to be agreed for Sergino Dest

However, despite multiple reports covering Bayern transfer news indicating that personal terms have been agreed with the player, Ajax and Bayern Munich are yet to come to a consensus when it comes to the transfer fees for the player. Ajax initially valued the starlet at €30 million. However, Bayern Munich aren’t willing to pay that much for Sergino Dest, with the Bavarian club likely to offer a fee around €15 million. With Sergino Dest not likely to accept the new contract offered by Ajax in January, it looks like the youngster will move to the Bundesliga soon.

Barcelona interested in Sergino Dest transfer as well

A breakthrough season with Ajax has made several clubs in Europe target the young right back. Apart from Bayern Munich, Barcelona are also one of the clubs interested in the highly-rated defender. However, as Fabrizio Romano pointed out, Barcelona will first need to sell players before they can sign new ones, with the situation playing into Bayern Munich’s hands.

The young defender had a stellar season last time out, in a year which also saw him earn his first three caps for the USMNT. Amidst the transfer links, Sergino Dest has already started the new season with Ajax, appearing as a substitute in a 1-0 win last weekend over Sparta Rotterdam.
