Barcelona target said goodbye to his team-mates before completing the move

Barcelona has struggled to take steps to bolster the squad in the current transfer window. There have been a couple of obstacles with the Lionel Messi transfer saga and the crisis after crashing out of the Champions League. President Bartomeu replaced Setien with Ronald Koeman to take up the managerial job.

The Dutch gaffer has been working to finalize his squad before the transfer window shuts. Barcelona does not have funds to spare in the current transfer window. The coronavirus pandemic affected the economic stability of top European clubs including the Catalan club. Barca is totally depending upon the sale of players. This is the only way the club can gain a boost to their transfer budget.

Koeman has already decided on the future of some players monitoring their pre-season performance. Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal, and Ivan Rakitic all left the club as they were unwanted by the manager. The board is looking to rebuild a new squad with young players. This decision led to the signing of Francisco Trincao and Pedri.

New Signing to arrive at Barcelona

Sergino Dest Barcelona

Barcelona sold Nelson Semedo to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wolves for €40 million. This sum could fetch them the replacement for a new right-back. Koeman has chosen Ajax full-back Sergino Dest to replace the Portuguese. The 19-year old youngster has shown enough potential and gains his major breakthrough. Considering his performances in the Eredivise, Koeman has made a fine move.
