The 19-year-old was allowed to leave for Spain despite both clubs not agreeing a price yet, but reports claim a £22.8m is on the cards for the youngster.
If things go according to plan, a deal for the teenage right-back is expected to be completed at the end of the week.
Dest played 35 matches in all competitions for Ajax in his breakthrough season before the Eredivisie was canceled due to the pandemic.
He joined the Armesterdam outfit at the age of 11 in 2012 and made his debut for the United States last year, making three appearances.
Dest is born to a Dutch mother and an American father but chose to represent the United States at senior international level.

In the build-up to Barca’s first La Liga game against Villarreal last weekend, the Argentine also lashed the club for letting his best friend leave the club to rivals, Atletico Madrid.

After spending six years at Barcelona, things fell apart when the club suffered an embarrassing defeat in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.
The loss against Bayern Munich also made the club fire Setien and replace him with Ronald Koeman who has been mandated to bring titles to the Nou Camp.
