Confidence grows for Estupinan
According to the latest from Matteo Moretto, Brighton have rejected Milan’s initial offer for Estupiñán, but the Rossoneri are confident of reaching an agreement worth around €20m for the Ecuador international.
Moreover, Milan have reached a total agreement on contractual terms with the 27-year-old defender. After the initial offer was turned down, the management are ready to increase their bid in order to try get the deal over the line.
Fabrizio Romano writes: “AC Milan and Brighton remain in talks for Pervis Estupinan after first bid rejected today by Brighton. The agent Jorge Mendes, on it as Pervis wants the move… and Milan hope to get deal done under €20m.”
Estupinan joined Brighton in the summer of 2022 from Villarreal and has impressed for large parts of his spell with the Premier League club. He has made 48 appearances for his country too, scoring four goals.
Risky but potentially big upside if he can stay fit. I fear this may be the year Bartesaghi gets a loooot of minutes though
I think if they manage to get him. A good replacement for Theo. Looking forward to see him with Leao, an amazing duo!!!
There’s nothing to fear. Barteshagi has proven himself at youth level. If players who are consistent at youth level fail to make to grade, you have to look at their coaches. Barteshagi is enormous and crosses well. He is a talent.
Is he coming or is it Pubil?
Oh Pubill is a right back., 😂
If they can keep him fit its a great signing. Hes been fantastic for Brighton when he havent been injured. And the right wingers he plays against in the premier league is on a different level from those in Italy.
He’s too old. We should not be considering anyone older than 24.
Are you serious?
Don’t mind him abeg, he is high on igbo
Are you gery cardinale ? You want to growing player under 24 right ? Similar aim
O’Gabbs, very high on Igbo, lol.
How’s 27 too old? Lol
The internet people with their personal views and opinions though
Bartesaghi? – I don’t get it. What has he shown that makes people say he is or is going to be a top defender? He’s average, just average. I’ve not seen anything convincing so far though. I guess this season will tell.
Is he even average?
I saw some clips of him, l think he’s matured and has ability to display just like theo. Has good passing accuracy . He is a ballier ⚽⚽⚽🏃
