Milan are on the verge of securing Sergiño Dest on loan from Barcelona with an option to buy, claim reports in Spain and Italy.
Relevo in Spain and Sky Sport Italia in Italy both have the same version of events, noting that the clubs are close to a loan deal with option to buy at the end of the season.
If he was to make the move permanent, Dest would remain at San Siro on a three-year contract.
The 21-year-old right-back has also been linked with Manchester United and Villarreal and has 17 senior caps for the United States of America.
He only joined Barcelona from Ajax in the summer of 2020 for €21m, but struggled with repeated injury problems, mostly muscular in nature.
Dest has 72 competitive appearances for the Catalans, contributing three goals and five assists.
Milan have begun the search for a new right-back after Alessandro Florenzi went off injured during last night’s 0-0 Serie A draw with Sassuolo.
