AC Milan are currently unlikely to spend the money needed to turn Sergino Dest’s loan spell from Barcelona into a permanent deal, a report claims.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) published a report this morning looking back at the various additions that arrived at Milanello over the course of the summer, and Dest’s situation came into view as part of it.
As per the terms of the agreement struck with Barcelona last summer, it will cost Milan €20m in order to turn his loan deal into a permanent signing, which is not an insignificant sum given he only arrived due to Alessandro Florenzi’s long-term injury.
At the moment, it seems ‘unthinkable’ that the Rossoneri management will agree to pay such a sum, not only for economic reasons given the restricted budget that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are working with, but also because of the unconvincing performances offered by the player.
