FC Bayern Munich is preparing a double transfer from PSV Eindhoven by targeting American defender Sergino Dest alongside midfielder Ismael Saibari ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to reports from Eindhovens Dagblad, the 25-year-old fullback possesses a release clause in his contract valued between 23 million and 25 million euros.

The German club reportedly prioritizes finalizing the 48-million-euro deal for Saibari first before finalizing a move for Dest.
This may require selling loaned players like Joao Palhinha to fund the transfer.
Dest, who is currently with the United States national team preparing for the 2026 World Cup, previously rejected Bayern Munich in 2020 to join Barcelona before moving to PSV in 2023.
"Why Barcelona and not Bayern? It wasn't easy, but Barcelona is the club of my dreams," Dest confessed.
The defender spent time on loan at AC Milan before joining PSV on a free transfer in 2024, despite suffering a crucial ligament injury that sidelined him until March 2025.
"I don't rule out staying, I still have two years on my contract, but I think it's time to take a step forward," Dest stated.
The American international has achieved three consecutive titles during his time in Eindhoven and remains under contract until 2028.
