Manchester United and AC Milan battle for Brighton’s star defender Pervis Estupinan.
Man United Struggle to Seal Key Transfers
Manchester United are facing a rocky transfer window this time, despite high hopes at the start of the summer. New head coach Ruben Amorim is pushing for a complete squad rebuild this window.
He has already decided to part ways with several big names, including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Jadon Sancho. Man Utd’s transfer activity began on a promising note with the early arrival of Matheus Cunha. But, there’s no new arrivals since.
The attempts to sign Bryan Mbeumo are on hold. Meanwhile, new options in midfield and defensive depth are being looked at. One of the more sought after players to emerge has been Brighton and Hove Albion player Pervis Estupinan.
The left-back has shone in the Premier League on a regular basis. He represents a player who fits Amorim’s plans. But, the Red Devils won’t be the only club in the hunt for his signature.
AC Milan Join the Race for Pervis Estupinan
AC Milan are in the middle of a rebuild after an poor season in Serie A. With similar gaps to fill in their backline, they’ve turned their eyes to Estupinan as well. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, both United and Milan are monitoring the defender closely. Although, no official bids have been submitted yet.
Manchester Utd have reportedly initiated talks with the player’s camp. The player is said to be open to a move to Old Trafford too. However, the issues will be convincing Brighton to sell. They are known for holding firm on their valuations. The Seagulls are likely to demand a decent fee.
With Milan potentially moving in, United has to act fast if they want to finalize the transfer deal. Amorim will want to make early signings to prepare a squad for the start of the new season.
