Third time lucky? Potential Barcelona reprieve for USMNT star Sergino Dest after productive PSV loan & imminent Xavi departure

The United States international defender completed a dream transfer to Catalunya in 2020. He struggled to make the desired impact with La Liga giants and was loaned out to AC Milan for the 2022-23 campaign – where he also found regular game time hard to come by.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Barcelona have been keeping a close eye on his progress in the Eredivisie, while also noting his versatility, and <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/metamorfosis-dest-favorece-barca-98812591 " target="_blank">SPORT</a> claims that a permanent move to Eindhoven is no longer guaranteed. With Xavi - who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-sergino-dest-explains-why-written-off-too-soon-barcelona/blt75e9e2eb34d117cb" target="_blank">deemed Dest to be surplus to requirements</a> - preparing to move on in the summer, the hard-working full-back may be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-sergino-dest-psv-wanting-bigger-club-saying-no-transfer-former-usmnt-star-making-move-happen/blt92859a6ef7282868" target="_blank">given another chance to prove his worth</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

PSV do have a €10 million (£9m/$11m) purchase option on Dest, but Barca can take that off the table if they want to absorb the USMNT ace back into their plans. Dest will likely be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/where-usmnt-sergino-dest-end-up-barcelona-playing-transfer-game-asking-price-set-stone/bltbfca09d0cff63470" target="_blank">freed to make the final call on his future</a>, with the promising defender needing to feel settled and valued wherever he ends up.

Sergino Dest is not out of the picture at Barcelona just yet and it may become a case of third time lucky for the USMNT star at Camp Nou.
