PSV Eindhoven’s manager, Peter Bosz, has confirmed that the club will not activate the buy option clause for American defender Sergiño Dest. However, Bosz expressed a desire to retain the player, indicating that negotiations with FC Barcelona, Dest’s parent club, are forthcoming to explore alternative arrangements.
“We’re not triggering the buy option clause for Sergiño Dest but I’m still hoping we can find a way to keep him at the club,” Bosz stated.
Future Discussions Planned with Barcelona
Following the decision not to trigger the buy option, PSV is set to approach Barcelona to discuss potential solutions that would allow Dest to continue his career at the Dutch club. The specifics of these discussions are yet to be disclosed, but they are expected to explore various forms of agreements that could satisfy both parties.
