Sergino Dest sees fresh Barcelona exit route emerge with USMNT defender among names to help land Everton midfielder Amadou Onana

The Catalan club is keen on bolstering its midfield options and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/amadou-onana-thiago-alcantara-six-players-rebuild-barcelona-s-unbalanced-midfield/blt4ef4979024bc5219" target="_blank">views Onana as a top target for the upcoming transfer window</a>. Onana, who joined Everton from Lille for £33m in 2022, has quickly established himself as a key player for the Toffees, showcasing his talent with 29 appearances and three goals this season. At just 22 years old, the Belgian midfielder is considered a promising prospect, attracting attention from several top clubs across Europe.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Initially, Barcelona seemed hesitant to pursue Onana due to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-astonomical-price-arsenal-pay-amadou-onana-everton-january-transfer-window/blta14c8720d394c9a8#cs854e6a415fd56130" target="_blank">Everton's rumoured €60m (£51.49m/$65.17m) price tag</a>. However, according to Sport, Barcelona are now willing to explore alternative avenues to secure his services, as the Catalan giants are reportedly prepared to offer a choice of four players to Everton in exchange for Onana.Among the players, Barcelona could potentially include are loanees Ansu Fati, Clement Lenglet and Dest as well as Fermin Lopez, who is currently honing his skills under Xavi Hernandez. Barcelona have done plenty of business with Everton in recent transfer windows, including deals for Andre Gomes, Gerard Deulofeu, and Yerry Mina.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While Onana's departure would be a loss, the prospect of receiving a new player plus cash presents an enticing opportunity for Everton. Onana himself is reportedly intrigued by the prospect of joining Barcelona, making the Catalan club a priority destination for him this summer. On the other hand, Fati and Dest could be valuable additions to Everton's squad, particularly in the winger and right-back positions where improvements are needed. Additionally, Lopez, a versatile midfielder capable of playing in multiple roles, could serve as a suitable replacement for Onana.

DID YOU KNOW?

Should Barcelona fail to secure Onana's signature, other clubs such as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-intensive-talks-amadou-onana-transfer-everton-midfielder-keen-on-move-90m-price-tag/bltb551f10fe25d0e84" target="_blank">Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly poised to capitalize </a>on the opportunity, indicating fierce competition for the talented midfielder's services.
