Pervis Estupiñán has transferred to Italian club AC Milan from Brighton & Hove Albion in a transaction valued at £17 million, including add-ons. The Ecuadorian international defender has signed a contract that extends until 2030.
Estupiñán has been a key player for Brighton since his arrival from Villarreal in 2022, contributing five goals in 104 matches. He was instrumental in helping the team qualify for European competition for the first time in their history in 2023, although they were eventually eliminated by Roma in the Europa League's last-16 round.
In the previous season, the left-back appeared in 34 matches, aiding the Seagulls in securing an eighth-place finish in the Premier League. Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler commented, "I have enjoyed working with Pervis, and he has made a significant contribution to the club during his time here. He is at the stage of his career where he seeks a fresh challenge, and this opportunity to play in Serie A provides that."
The 27-year-old initially arrived in England in 2016, signing with Watford, although he did not make a senior appearance for the club. Estupiñán later rose to prominence at Villarreal and was part of the squad that triumphed over Manchester United in the 2021 Europa League final before moving to Brighton.
