The FC Barcelona has not had a lot of fortune in the closing of the season 2023/24 in relation with Sergiño Dest. The American, one of the players of which the Barcelona cast predictably wants to give off of definite way, was having a flawless campaign like left side in the PSV Eindhoven. Nevertheless, when better was showing his football, an injury interrupted his ascending progress.
No only this, also is necessary to take into account the type of physical mishap that suffered, one of the most feared, perhaps the one who more: break of the ligament crossed previous of his knee. Like result, sacked of all activity during the rest of 2024, and estimates that it will go back at the beginning of 2025. This has been a hard 'hit' for the Barcelonan picture, that saw near the possibility to obtain profits with Sergiño, since the 'Ranchers', very satisfied with Dest, seemed had to pay the clause of purchase of 10 M€ stipulated in his agreement of loan.
However, obviously, this injury has changed entirely the panorama regarding the future of the side, hampering that the Barça obtain the profits expected of him this summer. Although it still exists the option to give off definitively of him and do businesses with the Dutch.
The PSV still wants to have Sergiño Dest in spite of his injury
In this sense, according to the Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink of the media 'Eindhovens Dagblad', the PSV Eindhoven has not lost the hopes of fichar to Sergiño Dest. Although also asevera that there have not been significant advances in the negotiation and the situation keeps in calm, but that does not want to say that the valid champion of the Eredivisie have renounced to his wish to do of the services of Dest to complete time.
In this point, what probably play against of the FC Barcelona is that, when being lesionado the native of Almere, the Barcelona cast loses a power of negotiation quite important. This argument could be valid so that the Dutch, as they already tried previously, can ficharlo by an inferior price to the 10 M€ stipulated in the clause of purchase of the exjugador of the Ajax.
Nevertheless, it is true that the combined Catalan will have to reflexionar carefully on this negotiation, since the less favourable option for them would be the return of Sergiño Dest, since they could not use it largely of the season because of his injury of long length. Besides, assume again his wage (5 M€) would be complicated for the club, that is treating to reduce his mass salarial and make adjust economic to fulfil with the norms of the 'fair play' financial and the rule 1/1. In front of this, would not be surprise that the Barcelona group can show some flexibility to the hour to board a negotiation with the 'Ranchers'.
