AC Milan management bet on American right-back Sergino Dest towards the end of the previous summer transfer window. The club signed the player from FC Barcelona on loan with an option to buy (reportedly set at 20 million euros).
Lately, the former Ajax man has been able to get more space but he definitely has to work more if he wants to convince Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara of keeping him permanently once the season ends.
According to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, the feeling with Stefano Pioli is growing. However, the situation relating to the permanent buy-option is still not very clear. In fact, AC Milan directors are unlikely to pay a 20 million euros transfer fee to FC Barcelona to keep Sergino Dest at the San Siro. Meanwhile, Gerry Cardinale plans to meet the club management and players soon. Here's when.
