Overview
- Reports this week say Aston Villa have opened talks with AC Milan to sign left-back Pervis Estupiñán as a replacement for Lucas Digne.
- Italian outlets report Milan are asking about €18m for Estupiñán while Villa are prepared to offer roughly €10–12m, leaving a clear valuation gap in negotiations.
- English coverage says PSG have activated Lucas Digne’s release clause for a fee reported to be under £10m, increasing Villa’s urgency to find a left-back.
- Milan coach Ruben Amorim has identified Noussair Mazraoui as a preferred target and the club has made contact with the player’s agent Rafaela Pimenta to explore that option.
- Estupiñán arrives with a strong Brighton-era reputation but mixed form at Milan last season, and Rossoneri reports say Milan plan multiple sales to raise funds this summer.
