Report: Milan want to cash in on Estupiñán, price tag set
Pervis Estupiñán’s time at Milan appears to be drawing to a close after just one disappointing season, with the club’s hierarchy understood to have made the decision to listen to offers for the Ecuadorian left-back this summer.
The former Brighton man arrived carrying the considerable weight of replacing Theo Hernández – a task that has proven beyond him.
According to CalcioMercato, via MilanNews, the Rossoneri are ready to cash in.
He has struggled to adapt to Massimiliano Allegri’s system and has gradually lost his place to young academy product Bartesaghi.
His numbers tell the story plainly: 16 appearances in total, just ten from the start, with no goals and a single assist to his name.
Milan want to recoup €14m from Estupiñán
Sporting director Igli Tare and CEO Giorgio Furlani have placed him on the list of players available for sale, and the financial parameters of any deal have already been established.
Milan paid Brighton €17 million plus €2 million in bonuses for Estupiñán, and with his contract running until 2030, the club need to recoup at least €14 million to avoid a damaging loss on their books.
To help achieve that figure, Milan are pinning their hopes partly on the 2026 World Cup.
Ecuador have been drawn in a group alongside Germany, Ivory Coast and Curaçao, and a series of strong performances on the international stage could significantly raise Estupiñán’s market value and reignite interest from clubs in Spain and England, where he still carries a solid reputation from his time at Villarreal and Brighton.
Despite reported interest from Bologna, the Rossoneri’s preference is a permanent sale abroad rather than a domestic move.
