Dest al Milan, the outsider in Milan for visits and signing

The American full-back of Barcelona borrowed with the right of redemption for 20 million

A full-back for Pioli. After Florenzi’s injury, Milan ran for cover and scored Sergiño Dest, class two thousand like Adli, Tonali and Kalulu, an American low winger born in Holland and owned by Barcelona. Leaving El Prat on a private flight, he will arrive at Linate around 10 am to carry out medical examinations.

Figures

Dest lands on loan with the right of redemption set at 20 million. Barça bought him from Ajax for 25 million in 2020, then 73 appearances and 3 goals in blaugrana. In his career he has won the Spanish Cup in 2021 and the Dutch Super Cup in 2019, plus the Concacaf Nations League in 2020. He boasts 17 appearances and two goals with the United States, with whom he will take part in the World Cup. In 2019 he was named best “US Soccer Athlete of the Year”, an award won over the years by McKennie, Pulisic (three times), Howard, Dempsey, Donovan and Onyewu, the last – and so far only – American to wear the Milan shirt, even if only for one match (in 2009 in the Champions League against Zurich). Last year, in a difficult season due to a few injuries, Dest racked up 31 games and 4 assists.
