Barcelona have reportedly upped their efforts to sign Ajax defender Sergino Dest.
The Catalan giants are in the market for a new right-back after allowing Nelson Semedo to link up with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
While they hold an interest in Norwich City's Max Aarons, the La Liga outfit are said to be prioritising an approach for United States international Dest.
According to Marca, Barcelona want to capitalise on the 19-year-old preferring to make the switch to Camp Nou over Bayern Munich.
Barcelona are allegedly prepared to shell out a fee which could reach £22.5m when add-ons are taken into account.
With Dest having less than two years left on his contract, Ajax have taken the decision to cash in on the youngster.
Liverpool 'not planning any more summer signings'

Liverpool have reportedly concluded their incoming summer transfer business, having secured deals for Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota from Bayern Munich and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively.
The Reds have now signed three players during this summer's transfer window, with Thiago and Jota joining Kostas Tsimikas, who has arrived as back-up to Andrew Robertson at left-back.
Watford's Ismaila Sarr and Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele have been linked with moves to Anfield in recent days, but according to the Liverpool Echo, the club are not planning to make any more signings in the current window.
The report claims that the Premier League champions are instead turning their attention to outgoings, with Rhian Brewster, Marko Grujic and Harry Wilson among those who could depart.
A new central defender was believed to be on the agenda for the Reds following the departure of Dejan Lovren, but Fabinho's performance at the heart of the defence against Chelsea has allegedly left head coach Jurgen Klopp comfortable with his options in that area of the field.
Liverpool will be looking to make it three straight wins at the start of their 2020-21 Premier League season when they host Arsenal at Anfield on Monday night.
