CM: From €20m option to the player’s will – Milan have a plan for Barcelona loanee | OneFootball

Sergino Dest did not have an easy start to life at AC Milan following his arrival on loan from Barcelona but he is slowly beginning to convince.

Dest was somewhat of an emergency addition from Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara given the serious injury sustained by Alessandro Florenzi towards the end of August, and he appears to be settling with the passage of time.

Calciomercato.com report that Milan have a €20m option to buy as part of the loan deal with Barcelona which would obviously represent a substantial outlay for a position where there is already Davide Calabria and Florenzi on multi-year deals.

However, as Dest impresses at the World Cup in Qatar with the USA, the management are becoming more convinced about attempting to keep the former Ajax man. The report mentions an intention to hold talks with Barca in the coming weeks to change the terms of the deal by reducing the €20m option.

In addition, the Rossoneri plan to leverage the will of the player who feels appreciated at Milan and seems to be settling in, while his characteristics are useful to the squad.
