Jurgen Klopp Keen on Sergino Dest as Trent Alexander-Arnold Replacement
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Reds have been linked with a move for the United States international for some time, and it is now claimed that they are ready to make a formal offer.
Alexander-Arnold has been a key player for Liverpool in recent seasons, but his form has dipped this season. The England international has been criticized for his defensive performances, and he has also been linked with a move away from Anfield.
Dest Seen as Ideal Replacement for Alexander-Arnold
Dest is seen as an ideal replacement for Alexander-Arnold. The 21-year-old is a talented attacking full-back who is also comfortable playing in a more defensive role.
Dest has been a regular for Barcelona this season, and he has also impressed for the United States national team. He is a player with a lot of potential, and he could be a valuable addition to the Liverpool squad.
Liverpool Facing Competition for Dest
Liverpool are not the only club interested in signing Dest. Bayern Munich and Juventus are also said to be keen on the defender.
However, Liverpool are confident that they can win the race for Dest's signature. The Reds are reportedly prepared to offer a fee of around €25 million for the defender.
Deal Could Be Completed This Summer
A deal for Dest could be completed this summer. Barcelona are reportedly open to selling the defender, and Dest is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League.
If Liverpool can sign Dest, it would be a major coup for the club. The defender is one of the most promising young full-backs in the world, and he could help Liverpool to challenge for major honors in the years to come.
