Barcelona defender Sergio Dest has confirmed his plan to leave the club this summer.
Dest knows his role in Catalonia is unlikely to change, despite the incoming managerial upheaval at the club, and Barcelona are happy to let him go.
The United States international has not made a senior Barcelona appearance since 2022 and has accepted an offer to join PSV on a season-long loan at the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
A return to Holland has revived Dest's stuttering career with PSV closing in on the Eredivisie title this season.
PSV are willing to activate Dest's €10 million transfer clause, according to his agreement with Barcelona, and director of football Earnie Stewart has previously indicated that discussions are ongoingwith an agreement near the end.
Dest has now indicated his own preference to stay in Holland as PSV and Barcelona complete the final terms of his exit package from Catalonia, having joined Barcelona in 2020.
“PSV is happy with me and I enjoy my time here. My future? Time will tell. Barcelona? No, I want to continue to develop “, as quotes from AS Diary.
