CM: Dest set for Barcelona return amid Champions League exclusion at Milan | OneFootball

Sergino Dest was left out of the Champions League squad for AC Milan’s knockout phase venture and this is a big signal with regard to his future. In fact, he’s expected to leave the club in the summer.

In the final days of the summer mercato, Milan reached an agreement with Barcelona for the loan transfer of Dest. It was a last-minute signing as Alessandro Florenzi sustained a serious injury against Sassuolo, forcing the management to act.

There is a €20m buy-out clause in the loan deal and as reported by Calciomercato.com, the Champions League exclusion can be seen as a clear message in that sense. Milan, in fact, have no intention of redeeming the American international for €20m.

Davide Calabria remains the No.1 choice for the right-hand side and Milan also expect Alessandro Florenzi to be back in action soon. Having said that, the Rossoneri signing a new right-back in the summer should not be excluded.
