SM: Milan ‘ready’ to send new bid to Brighton for Estupinan – the details

This afternoon, we have learnt that AC Milan are ready to send a new bid to Brighton for Pervis Estupinan. 

In the past few days, the chase for Estupinan has been massively ramped up, with Milan heading away to Asia for their pre-season tour. So, with the aim of giving Massimiliano Allegri a ‘complete’ squad, the transfer department has been working hard.

A number of targets have been evaluated more in the past week, and Estupinan’s name has been on the rise massively. In fact, the club even sent their first bid earlier in the week, but it was seen as too low by the Premier League outfit.

It was never going to be the only bid sent by the Rossoneri, so they are preparing to return to the table with a new bid. As our colleague Luca Maninetti reports, the Diavolo are ‘ready’ to make a new offer of €18 million for the full-back.

Whilst it is still short of the Seagulls’ valuation of the defender, it is not far off the €23m sought. So, Milan will also include some bonuses to get closer to that figure. The club are optimistic that he can be Theo’s replacement, so perhaps this latest move could be enough to seal a deal.
