Barcelona young defender could leave on loan, club pushing for a decision

While Barcelona have might found a solution for the sale of one out-of-favour defender in Clement Lenglet, they are not having any such luck with Sergino Dest.

Lenglet, as per reports, could be on the move soon with Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia emerging as an option.

However, there have not been many clubs willing to take on Dest’s signing this summer.

As such, Barcelona are set to meet the 22-year-old and discuss his future, with the club pressing him for a decision soon, reports SPORT.

Dest to leave on another loan deal?

Barça were ideally hoping to sell Dest permanently this summer but the report suggests that the Blaugrana are now open to accepting a loan exit for the out-of-favour right-back.

Dest, for his part, has attracted interest from smaller stature clubs, but has been holding out for a team where he can play Champions League football.

But considering that there are no such teams interested, he is now open to assessing what proposals he has on the table.

At the same time, the clubs that have shown an interest in the USMNT international would be unable to cover his full wages.

In that scenario, the Catalans are prepared to pay a part of his salary to help him leave.

In the recent past, reports had suggested that the termination of his contract was not entirely ruled out.

However, for now, Barcelona are exploring the possibilities to loan Dest out and hope to reach a satisfactory solution by next week.
