Nice could be Sergino Dest‘s destination for next season as Barcelona has been negotiating for a few days with the French club for the loan of the American and a deal is quite close.
The main problem is in the player’s salary as Nice is not willing to assume it in its entirety.
That final sticking point is all that is holding up a potential deal from being done.
Dest’s departure is independent from the potential arrival of Joao Cancelo.
Xavi does not count on him for the next season and that is why they are looking for a destination for him.
Other clubs that were interested in him included PSV Eindhoven, who asked Barcelona about his situation.
Dest was not willing to return to the Dutch league where he played for Ajax before joining Barcelona.
The American was on loan at Milan last season but things did not go very well for him as he hardly played throughout the season and the Italian club did not want to pay the option to buy the player.
