AC Milan have officially announced that defender Sergiño Dest has joined on loan from FC Barcelona with an option to buy.
A statement on the official website Milan have confirmed that Dest has joined the Rossoneri on an initial loan deal from the Catalan side that could become permanent via an option to buy next season.
Dest came through the youth ranks at Ajax in his native Netherlands and made his first-team debut for the Amsterdam side 2019, making 38 appearances for the Eredivisie side and winning a Dutch Supercup.
He joined Barcelona in 2020 where he racked up 72 appearances and scored two goals, winning the Spanish Cup before ultimately falling out of favour.
He has 17 appearances and 3 goals for the USA national team who he chose to represent over his birth country the Netherlands, winning the Concacaf Nations League 2019-20.
Dest will arrive to provide cover in the right-back role after the injury sustained by Alessandro Florenzi in the midweek draw against Sassuolo.
