English club approach PSV, but a transfer is out of the question

Sergiño Dest will simply see out the season at PSV. Club watcher Rik Elfrink of the Eindhovens Dagblad reported that on X. Fulham still wanted to do business on Tuesday, but a transfer is not on the cards.

Clubs in the Netherlands can complete transfers until Wednesday 23:59. After that, the window will shut for several months. That means Dest will not leave PSV in the final stages of the transfer window. He does not fancy a spell at Fulham.

Not long ago, it emerged that Dest can be signed from PSV for 23 million euros. Interested clubs would not even need to negotiate with the hierarchy in Eindhoven.

Dest himself knows nothing about it, as recently became clear in a conversation with ESPN. ''A clause that was due to run until the weekend? I haven't seen anything about that,'' the full-back stressed.

''I'm not focused on that. So I don't really have much to say about it,'' said Dest, who last season indicated that he has the ambition to one day play in a top European league again.

''As for the club, everything has to fit when you leave. That's normal for everyone. At the moment I fit in here at PSV. If I make a move, I always make a well-considered choice,'' the defender said, refusing to simply swap PSV for another club.

Dest is under contract at PSV until mid-2028. Transfermarkt values him at eighteen million euros, but PSV appear set to ask for a higher fee for the United States international.
