# Leeds: Whites now want Sergino Dest

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) now want to sign Barcelona’s Sergino Dest after Manchester United were offered the right-back’s services, [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/sergino-dest-transfer-news-exclusive-jesse-marsch-barcelona-deal-man-utd-offered) report.**

### The Lowdown: Aaronson wrapped up

The Whites have made a quick start to their summer business by signing long-term target Brenden Aaronson. The attacking midfielder was officially unveiled as a Leeds player on Thursday evening, penning a [five-year](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/29944/brenden-aaronson-to-join-leeds-united) deal at Elland Road.

Aaronson will now link up with Jesse Marsch once again following their [successful](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brenden-aaronson/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/393323/plus/0/saison/2020/verein/409/trainer_id/17275) short stint together at FC Salzburg, and it looks as if another USA international could be on their way.

### The Latest: Dest links

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/sergino-dest-transfer-news-exclusive-jesse-marsch-barcelona-deal-man-utd-offered) shared a story on Wednesday morning regarding Leeds and Dest after Manchester United were offered his services.

They claimed that Marsch now wants to bring Dest to Yorkshire after being made surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp.

### The Verdict: Needed?

Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas both look set to miss the start of next season through injury, so bringing in Dest could be a shrewd move.

Rated at €70m (£59m) by [CIES](https://football-observatory.com/-values-157390), Dest made [31](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergino-dest/leistungsdaten/spieler/361104) appearances in 2021/22 and even played as a [left-back, right-winger and left-winger](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergino-dest/leistungsdaten/spieler/361104). He’s clearly an exciting versatile young talent who already has Champions League and Europa League [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergino-dest/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/361104), and sharing the same [agency](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/icm-stellar-sports/beraterfirma/berater/190) as Leeds stars Ayling, Patrick Bamford and Dan James may make a transfer easier as well.

However, another young right-back [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-phil-hay-calvin-ramsay-transfer-update/) with a move to Leeds is Aberdeen’s Calvin Ramsay, so it could be one or the other when it comes to bolstering their full-back ranks.
