Sergino Dest nears transfer to Bayer Leverkusen, could benefit Barcelona
Summary

Sergino Dest's potential move from PSV Eindhoven to Bayer Leverkusen this summer could bring Barcelona a financial boost. As multiple European clubs show interest in the 25-year-old right-back, Bayer Leverkusen has emerged as a serious candidate to sign him, seeking a replacement for Alejandro Grimaldo. Dest was sold to PSV with a 20% sell-on clause, meaning Barcelona could receive around €5 million from the transfer valued at approximately €25 million. The former Barcelona player has revived his career in the Netherlands, making 38 appearances last season and representing the United States at the World Cup.
