Brighton defender Estupinan close to AC Milan move
Estupinan played 30 times in the Premier League last season
Brighton defender Pervis Estupinan is set to join Serie A giants AC Milan for a reported fee of £17 million.
The 27-year-old left-back is under contract with the Seagulls until 2027 but looks to be on his way to the San Siro.
The Italian side have been chasing the Ecuador international all summer as a replacement for Theo Hernandez, who join Saudi club Al-Hilal for around £17.3m earlier this month.
Estupinan has played 104 times for Brighton since arriving from Villarreal for £14.9m in August 2022.
