Sergino Dest suffers terrible injury that cuts short his best professional season with PSV

PSV had an option to buy the player for $10.6 million in the midst of a great season

Sergino Dest was having a great season in the Eredivisie, and it was possible that the club would validate the purchase option on the table for $10.6 million dollars and now his future is in question after a devastating injury.

Dest, who belongs to Barcelona, was not part of Xavi Hernandez's squad and was loaned to PSV until June 30, 2024, and the irony is that the head coach might have missed his form and talent this season as they lost pace in LaLiga.

Throughout this season, Serginho, 23, has become a major force for Peter Bosz's side, appearing in 37 official matches for PSV so far, scoring two goals and seven assists.

In a statement, PSV confirmed the injury that occurred during the team's last training session on April 20, confirming that he will miss the rest of the season and practically the rest of 2024, although it is not yet defined exactly what his recovery time will be.

As if that were not enough, the injury comes at the worst moment for the player and for Barcelona, owner of his contract.

Dest, without any doubt, was one of the cards that Barcelona had to offload in order to get resources and give a little air to the delicate situation of financial fairplay that the club lives in.

Now, it is possible that PSV will not exercise the purchase option and could leave the player's future up in the air and his return to Catalonia is far from guaranteed too.

In Barcelona, Dest had no place in Ronald Koeman's project, and his situation would be in question, since if he is not hired in the Netherlands, he would have to complete his contract with Barcelona.

The deal, which ends in the summer of 2025, would mean he only has one season to try
