Brighton sold Pervis Estupinan to AC Milan in the summer transfer window.
The negotiations went smoothly, as the left-back fetched the Seagulls €17m plus potential bonuses.
While there was initially excitement about the left-back in Italy, it has faded away. He made a major error in Milan’s 2-2 draw against Parma. Generally, he’s struggled to make a mark. Youngster Davide Bartesaghi has looked like a much better option at left-back.
There is now the possibility of Estupinan leaving Milan less than a year after his arrival from Brighton. MilanLive report that the 27-year-old can depart San Siro in January. He still has a market in England, with the suggestion his good performances for Brighton could facilitate a Premier League return.
Atletico Madrid are also named as a potential suitor. The outlet believe that the Spanish side can offer Matteo Ruggeri in a swap deal. Los Rojiblancos also tried to sign the full-back in the summer but a move never went through.
