On Friday, Gianluca di Marzio reported AC Milan have grown in confidence about a move for Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan.
Jorge Mendes is helping the two clubs strike a deal and talks have been on, after the Rossoneri had an initial €12m bid rejected.
Gazzetta dello Sport report Brighton’s asking price for the left-back is €23m but the Seagulls had initially informed Mendes of a lower valuation when they had decided to sell the defender earlier this year.
This is proving to be important to Milan, who now want to close a deal at €15m but will have to add bonuses to convince the Seagulls.
The newspaper statesdiscussions between the Diavolo and Brighton were quite intense yesterday and it is possible an agreement can be reached quickly.
Milan are hoping that the 27-year-old undergoes a medical early next week and then joins their pre-season squad in Singapore. As the Ecuadorian holds a Spanish passport, registering him will not be a major problem for Max Allegri’s side.
The player is keen on a move to the San Siro and this is acting as a valuable lever for Milan.
