AC Milan is nearing completion of the acquisition of defender Pervis Estupinan from Brighton. The Ecuadorian player is expected to arrive in Italy as early as Wednesday to undergo a mandatory medical examination. The deal is valued at 19 million euros, including 17 million euros in fixed fees and 2 million euros in bonuses.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the clubs are exchanging final documents this evening, which will allow the player to fly out to finalize the transfer. The player`s agent, Jorge Mendes, actively facilitated this transfer, as Estupinan himself expressed a strong desire to join the Rossoneri.

Estupinan is expected to take over the left-back position following the departure of Theo Hernandez, who was sold to Saudi club Al-Hilal this summer. Brighton acquired Estupinan from Villarreal in 2022 for 17.8 million euros. Last season in the Premier League, he made 36 appearances across all competitions, scoring one goal.
