Sergino Dest’s Barcelona Departure Looms: PSV Eindhoven Loan Spells Potential Permanent Move
As Barcelona seeks to improve their financial standing next summer, several players, including fringe figures, are expected to be offloaded. Among them, Sergino Dest stands out, having struggled to make a lasting impact since his arrival from Ajax in 2020. Currently on loan at PSV Eindhoven, the Dutch side reportedly holds a €10 million buy option as part of the agreement.
Dest’s form and confidence have seen a resurgence during his loan spell in the Netherlands, sparking speculation about a possible permanent move. In an interview with De Telegraaf (via MD), the American international frequently referred to Barcelona in the past tense, hinting at a potential departure despite still being under contract.
Reflecting on his time at Barcelona, Dest expressed gratitude, stating, “For me, it was very special to play for Barcelona because my great idol, Ronaldinho, also played there. I really enjoyed that time there.”
While Barcelona is eager for PSV to activate Dest’s buy option at the season’s end, the player’s comments suggest an expectation of remaining with the Dutch giants. However, the permanency of the move is not yet guaranteed, adding an element of uncertainty to Dest’s future beyond the current loan arrangement.
