AC Milan has confirmed the signing of Pervis Estupinan from Brighton and Hove Albion on a 5-year deal, with the transfer fee reportedly under €20 million.
AC Milan has officially announced the signing of Pervis Estupinan from Brighton and Hove Albion. The deal was finalized quickly, with Milan making their interest known promptly. Estupinan will replace Theo Hernandez, who recently joined Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
The Ecuadorian full-back has signed a 5-year contract with AC Milan, demonstrating the club’s faith in his abilities. Estupinan struggled to cement a place with Brighton after a strong start to his time in England. Despite concerns about his ability to stay fit, AC Milan seems confident in their new signing.
The transfer fee was reportedly under €20 million, slightly less than Brighton’s initial asking price. Estupinan arrived in Milan on Wednesday to sign the contract and complete his medical before the deal was made official. He is expected to join his teammates in Asia for the pre-season tour shortly.
AC Milan’s swift signing of Estupinan shows their proactive approach to strengthening their squad. The club was keen to avoid losing another target this summer, following the departures of Maxim De Cuyper and Archie Brown.
With Estupinan on board, AC Milan is looking to bolster their defensive capabilities. The 5-year deal suggests that the club sees Estupinan as a long-term solution for their left-back position.
