United States international right-back Sergiño Dest, 25, indicated a potential return to FC Barcelona, stating that signing for the club would still be a dream and that he believes he would fit well with Hansi Flick's playing style. Dest also revealed that he spoke with Araujo after a match between the United States and Uruguay, and Araujo told him that he and Frenkie sometimes say they do not understand why Dest was sold, feeling he would be a good fit at Barça.
Dest was transferred to PSV Eindhoven for no fee in the summer of 2024, but Barcelona reserved an unspecified percentage of a future sale. The player also acknowledged interest from some other clubs, but noted that nothing is yet concrete. His contract with PSV runs until 2028, and he has been capped 37 times for the United States, scoring two goals. Juventus has been named among the clubs interested in the player. His current Transfermarkt market value is €18.00m.
