Barça and Ajax negotiate a Mazraoui-Dest barter for January

Noussair Mazraoui (14-11-1997) You can be a new Barça player this January. The Moroccan right-back, who ends his contract in 2022, would arrive at the Barcelona club and, in exchange, Barcelona would send Sergiño Dest back, who ends his contract in 2025 and who has seen how the arrival of Xavi condemned him, especially after the game in Munich against Bayern, which ended up sentencing him. Dest does not play these days due to physical problems, but the player does not count for Terrassa’s coach.

Mazraoui had sounded for Barça, but with a view to the month of June, especially for the relationship that unites him with Mino Raiola. Many wanted to see him as part of the seduction process so that Haaland ends up at Barça. But nevertheless, Sergiño Dest’s situation could anticipate the arrival of Mazraoui, who would compete with Daniel Alves for a position on the right back. According Transfermarkt, its market value is 18 million euros. Mazraoui he has played 21 games, in which he has scored four goals and three assists. Like any winger who plays in the Barça, his vocation is attacking.

Sergiño Dest’s environment maintains that the player is happy in Barcelona, but if a satisfactory offer comes from another club, it could go out. Ajax continues to be their home and, to this day, a Champions League team, something that Barça cannot say. In addition, there is the Qatar World Cup, With which Dest, 21, has been dreaming for a couple of years, when he debuted with the national team of U.S.

Mazraoui ends his contract in June and Ajax’s intention was not to come out in this market due to the Dutch hopes in the Champions League. The appearance of Sergiño Dest in the operation changes the parameters. Of course, it will be necessary to agree on the details to see how Barça can recover part of the investment, 20 million euros. That may be the obstacle of an open operation that, according to some sources, will go ahead this same month of January. Good relations between clubs, with Marc Overmars or Jordi Cruyff himself (He was in his quarry between 1981 and 1988) as a common link, they could help.
