AC Milan Open Talks with Brighton Over Pervis Estupiñán
Pervis Estupiñán is a key player for Brighton

AC Milan have officially opened direct talks with Brighton & Hove Albion over a potential transfer for Ecuadorian left-back Pervis Estupiñán, according to Matteo Moretto.

The Rossoneri have submitted an official offer as they look to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new Serie A season.

Why Milan Want Estupiñán

Milan view Estupiñán as a strong candidate to reinforce their left flank, adding competition and depth to a position that has lacked consistency in recent campaigns. His profile — a dynamic full-back known for his stamina, crossing ability, and defensive work rate — fits the club’s strategy of blending experience with athleticism.

Brighton’s Stance on the Negotiation

Brighton, meanwhile, are understood to be open to negotiations but will not let Estupiñán leave cheaply. The Premier League side values the player highly after his key contributions in recent seasons, particularly during their historic qualification for European competition.

Estupiñán, 27, joined Brighton from Villarreal in 2022 and has since established himself as one of the more consistent left-backs in England’s top flight. His performances have also been crucial for Ecuador on the international stage, further enhancing his reputation across Europe.

What’s Next

While no agreement has been reached yet, the direct nature of talks suggests Milan’s interest is serious. The coming weeks will determine whether Milan can meet Brighton’s valuation and convince Estupiñán to swap the Premier League for Serie A.

For Milan, securing a player of Estupiñán’s calibre would mark another step in their efforts to rebuild a squad capable of competing for domestic and European honours under new management.
