According to Voetbalprimeur.nl, Sergiño Dest stated that after he joined PSV in 2023, his intention was to move to a foreign top club within a year. Dest expressed an ambition to play at the highest level and mentioned a desire to play for one of the world's biggest clubs. He also noted that PSV and Ajax are beautiful clubs, but the Eredivisie is not the biggest league. A serious knee injury in April 2024 disrupted Dest's transfer plans. The player said that a doctor told him he would be out for a period of nine to ten months. Dest indicated that a top transfer has not disappeared from his mind and that he still wants to play for the biggest clubs in the world.

American full-back Sergiño Dest, 24, is contemplating a departure from PSV. He is among those who believe they might leave the club. His current contract is set to expire in June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €16 million.
