Speaking about Dest’s playstyle and rankings, a senior TransferMarket official Tobias Blaseio said, “Dest highlighted that with a bit more experience and patience, he could become a success at Barça,” 

“Tactically, he still has some deficiencies. But there is no doubt that he could develop into a world-class player at a stable environment/club,” Blaseio continued. “The tendency is that Dest is more of an attacking player and would be better off playing as a right midfielder with someone backing him up defensively.”
