Joan Laporta’s major clean-up operation for Barcelona

Sergino Dest and Trincão

Sergino Dest and Trincao were two of the only three new transfers that Barcelona made last season and it is safe to say that neither of them could show their true potential in their first season with the club. While Trincao was hyped to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo, he has only managed to score 3 goals across all competitions in 42 appearances. On the other hand, Dest has been much more important to the team and he basically replaced Nelson Semedo, who was sold off to Wolves at the start of the season. He made 41 appearances this season but had more starts than Trincao and he was more consistent in his position. However, even he was not able to show his best form and he was nowhere as good as he used to be in Ajax. Both of their forms have been below satisfactory but their futures at Barcelona are probably secured given their age as they have massive room for improvement.
