Aston Villa Open Talks Over Pervis Estupiñán After Milan Deem Him Surplus

A preliminary enquiry for the left-back's price and fitness could prompt Villa to reshape their left-back options.

Overview

  • Citing transfer reporters, outlets said Aston Villa made an initial enquiry to AC Milan about Pervis Estupiñán's availability, asking price and fitness on Sunday and Monday.
  • Sources report Estupiñán is not believed to be part of new Milan coach Ruben Amorim’s plans, which has led his agents to explore moves away from San Siro.
  • Estupiñán joined Milan from Brighton for about €17 million plus add-ons, has a contract through June 2030 and made 22 appearances last season with one goal and one assist.
  • His strong 2024–25 per‑game attacking and defensive numbers and his prior working relationship with Unai Emery explain Villa’s tactical interest in the 28‑year‑old.
  • The approach is exploratory with no formal bid reported and any transfer would likely affect Villa's left-back group, possibly triggering exits such as Ian Maatsen or Lucas Digne.
