Pervis Estupiñán's tenure at AC Milan hangs in the balance, with a crucial preseason tour in Australia and Indonesia set to determine his fate. New coach Ruben Amorim has decided to keep the Ecuadorian left-back for evaluation, halting potential negotiations with Aston Villa.

While Estupiñán is remembered for scoring a decisive goal in a derby match, Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests this single moment is insufficient to guarantee his place at Milan. The club could potentially secure a transfer fee of around 15 million euros from Aston Villa, but they are taking time to assess Estupiñán's capabilities under Amorim.
