Barcelona‘s Sergino Dest is reconsidering an offer from LaLiga side Villarreal after a phone call from coach Unai Emery, sources have told ESPN.
Villarreal approached Dest about a season-long loan earlier this week after losing right-back Juan Foyth to injury, but the United States international was initially reluctant to accept their offer.

However, under intense pressure to leave from Barcelona, and given the need to play regularly before the World Cup, Dest is re-evaluating his options before the transfer window closes on Thursday.
But sources explain even if Dest gives the green light to the move, the financial side of the deal still requires some work on both Barca and Villarreal’s side. Staying at Barca has not been ruled out.
