With just under a week until the transfer deadline, Barcelona are eying an ambitious move for Borussia Dortmund's Thomas Meunier, and it could see their young starlet Sergino Dest move the other way

Barcelona are lining up an ambitious move for Borussia Dortmund's Belgian full-back Thomas Meunier with less than a week left in the transfer window.

New boss Xavi is looking to rebuild his squad with new additions this window.

And Meunier has been earmarked as a potential target, according to journalist Gerrard Romero, with Serginot Dest potentially going the other way.

Dest, who joined from Ajax in late 2020, has found game time hard to come by under the Spaniard.

And a move to the Bundesliga could help the young American to restart his career that has stuttered at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona have been busy during this transfer window.

And Xavi kicked off his era with a bang when he brought Ferran Torres to the Camp Nou from Manchester City.

Dani Alves also returned from his brief stint in his native Brazil with Sao Paulo to bolster Barca's backline.

However, due to their ongoing financial crisis players have had to leave, and Philippe Coutinho left on loan to Aston Villa, while Ousmane Dembele has been placed on the chopping block.
