Barcelona have completed the signing of Ajax star, Sergino Dest

Barcelona have pipped Bayern Munich to the signing of Ajax star Sergino Dest, the Catalan outfit have confirmed.

Dest, 19, came to prominence with a stellar Eredivisie season in 2019-20, helping lead his side to first place in the Dutch top flight before the campaign was declared null and void due to the coronavirus pandemic.

That form had led to a fierce tussle over his future, with both Barca and the reigning German and European champions keen to add the USMNT international to their ranks.
