Pervis Estupinan’s Milan future already in doubt

Pervis Estupiñán’s future at Milan is already being called into question just months after his arrival from the Premier League.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Ecuadorian international’s underwhelming performance in the recent clash against Fiorentina has sparked internal reflections within the club regarding his long-term suitability for the project.

Notably, Estupiñán arrived at the San Siro from Brighton & Hove Albion this past summer, with the Rossoneri hierarchy expecting him to solidify the left flank. However, his adaptation has proven more difficult than anticipated, culminating in a poor showing against the Viola that left both fans and management frustrated. Furthermore, manager Max Allegri did not hide his disappointment after the match, offering critical words about the defender’s tactical discipline and contribution on the pitch.

Indeed, the report suggests that the “honeymoon period” is firmly over. While Milan made a significant investment to lure him away from the Amex Stadium, the lack of immediate impact has led to suggestions that the club could already be looking at alternative solutions for the position if his form does not improve rapidly. Allegri’s public critique is seen as a clear signal that the player must find a turning point to avoid being sidelined.
