Defender stays at PSV longer?: "Little interest"
1 min readDespite the fact that Sergiño Dest has repeatedly expressed a desire to leave over the past few months, there is a chance that the American will simply still be active at PSV in the 2026/2027 season. This writes PSV watcher Rik Elfrink of Eindhovens Dagblad.
Dest has a transfer clause of 23 million euros in his contract and, as a result, the winger defender can be picked up for that amount from PSV. Nevertheless, not many clubs are lining up for the American international yet.
''Around Eindhoven’s club it can be heard that a departure is not a 'must'. Other clubs that want him and know how to persuade him are, upon payment of 23 million euros to PSV, anyway the owners of his transfer rights. This so-called clause amount has not turned out to be so low that clubs are now standing in line in their masses'', so reports Elfrink.
In the summer of 2023, Dest was initially hired by PSV from FC Barcelona. The defender managed to impress so much that PSV decided to sign the American permanently.
In addition, Elfrink writes that there could also be clubs that would like to buy the current PSV player for a lower amount, but that this, in all probability, will not happen. ''The management of PSV is reportedly infatuated with Dest, and a transfer to PSV is not necessary for sporting or business reasons,'' the journalist said.

Tbh i verwacht dat PSV hem gewoon houdt als er geen gek bod komt. Het klinkt alsof ze hem zelfs sportief én commercieel laten renderen, niet om een transfer af te maken.
"Weinig interesse" klopt echt. Met zo'n clausule moet je als club al overtuigd zijn, anders is het gewoon geen slimme deal.
Dest still has quality, but i worry about whether PSV can keep getting the same impact without a proper step forward. If nobody pays 23m, it becomes more like squad role player than main gear.
If PSV really is happy with Dest, then 23m is just too much for most clubs. It makes sense that "vertrek geen must" is the vibe.
"Weinig interesse" zegt genoeg... I think we can survive another season with him, especially if the backup at LB/RB isnt ready. tbh 23 mil is a lot for a winger-back.
If the 23m clause is real, it honestly makes no sense for clubs to overpay now. Dest isnt a must-sell at all, and PSV clearly wants to keep him as long as the market stays quiet.
