Barcelona announced that they reached an agreement with PSV Eindhoven for the permanent transfer of Sergiño Dest. Dest had previously been on loan to PSV Eindhoven for the last season.

Sergino Dest has left Barcelona to join PSV Eindhoven on a permanent transfer. The USMNT full-back spent last season on loan at PSV and helped them wrestle back the Eredivisie title from Feyenoord. He has now signed for them on a permanent deal, ending his Barca career after four years with the club. A statement from Barcelona read: 'FC Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Sergino Dest. FC Barcelona retains a percentage of any future sale.' PSV's unveiling read: 'Sergino Dest is and always will be PSV. The technically gifted full-back was rented from FC Barcelona last season. Now PSV takes him over permanently from the Catalans. Sergino signed a four-year contract on Saturday afternoon at PSV Campus De Herdgang.' Dest announced in May that he had ruptured his ACL and so a permanent transfer was put into doubt. Nevertheless, PSV have chosen to proceed with the deal despite this injury concern.

Loaned to PSV Eindhoven this season, American right-back Sergino Dest (23 years old) revitalized his career in the Netherlands. With 37 appearances, 2 goals, and 7 assists, he convinced PSV Eindhoven to recruit him permanently. Despite a cruciate ligament rupture, Sergino Dest leaves FC Barcelona and has signed with Peter Bosz's team until June 2028. The transfer fee has not been disclosed, but the Catalan club retains a resale percentage.

Sergiño Dest was operated on at the beginning of May for a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which will keep him out of action until the start of 2025. He is currently recovering at PSV Eindhoven, where he was on loan until June 30. PSV had an option to buy him for 10 million euros but is now not willing to pay a transfer fee due to his injury.

Sergiño Dest, who is currently on loan at PSV Eindhoven from FC Barcelona, suffered a serious injury during training with PSV. PSV was expected to exercise the purchase option for around 10 million euros this summer to keep him. However, the situation has changed due to his injury. Although negotiations between the clubs have not significantly advanced, PSV's plan has not changed and they are still interested in Dest. The player also wishes to stay at PSV. It is possible that there may be a new loan for the 2024-25 season with PSV taking charge of the salary, without paying for the transfer until he becomes free in 2025.

PSV Eindhoven is in talks with Sergiño Dest to extend his stay at the Dutch club. Dest suffered a knee injury over the weekend that will keep him inactive for a few months. The Eredivisie leader has not changed its script to extend, it will be seen with what formula, the continuity in the Eindhoven team of a player who has been a fixture in the line-ups, contributing 2 goals and 7 assists in the 37 official matches he has played this season. With a purchase option of 8 million euros and a contract in force with Barça until 2025, we will have to see how this willingness of the Dutch club to have Dest, who is now 23 years old, is faced. Ajax also sounded out the possibility of bringing back a player they sold to Barça at the end of 2020 for a fixed fee of 21 million euros and another 5 in variables.

Sergino Dest has revealed talks are under way to turn his loan move from Barcelona to PSV Eindhoven into a permanent deal worth around £9m.
