Spanish press sources revealed that Barcelona is seeking to conclude a reciprocal deal with its Dutch counterpart, Ajax Amsterdam, in the coming period.
And according to what was published by the Spanish newspaper “AS”, Barcelona and Ajax are offering a reciprocal deal that might rid the two teams of two recent crises.
And it was announced that Moroccan Nassir Mazraoui may become a new player in Barcelona next January, with American defender Serginio Dest heading to the opposite direction.
The newspaper pointed out that Dest has faced great difficulties in Barcelona since Xavi Hernandez took over the team, especially since the performance of the American international during the Bayern Munich match in the Champions League did not satisfy the coach of the “Bulugrana”.
Reports indicated that Mazraoui had already entered Barcelona’s plans some time ago, especially since his contract with Ajax expires at the end of the current season, and the Catalan club wants to take advantage of being a client of Italian Mino Raiola as part of the process of tempting Erlang Haaland to move to the “Camp Nou”.
And the newspaper reported that Dest’s current situation may accelerate the departure of the American and the contract with Mazraoui, who will compete with Danny Alves for the right-back position.
And the American player Serginio Dest moved to Barcelona in the summer of 2020, from Ajax, in a marketing deal estimated at 21 million euros.
The newspaper said that the good relationship between Ajax and Barcelona may lead to a deal that was not taken into account, the Catalan club got rid of Dest, and gives the Dutch team an opportunity to get rid of a player who will not renew his contract in the end.
