Throughout the back end of last season, Milan were pretty sold on the idea that Estupinan would be sold in the summer and there was enough interest to not have to worry. However, there has only been one interested suitor in the left-back this summer and they were pushed away effectively.
Estupinan can go
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, via MilanNews, the Rossoneri will now listen to ‘any offers’ that arrive for Estupinan after the Ecuadorian failed to convince Amorim during the first ‘half’ of the pre-season tour.
A move to Aston Villa has now gone cold, too, so hope will be needed for another party coming forward with an offer for the wing-back. However, the fact that ‘any’ offer will be listened to suggests that there is little hope that the fee will be matched.
Things can obviously get back on track with the Villains. Neverhtheless, considering how likely it was that Estupinan was going to leave before the summer, it is disappointing that we are back at the same point a few months on.
If no one else comes forward, it’ll go down as one of the bigger regrets in recent times.
