The main headline is focused on the battle between Inter and Napoli for Ademola Lookman, but on the side, there is also space for Milan in Corriere dello Sport. The smaller headline is dedicated to the negotiations for Pervis Estupiñán:
"Estupiñán: Milan raise their offer."
And the description reads: "Open talks for Theo’s heir. Jashari in dispute with Club Brugge."
Theo's replacement
The replacement for Theo—identified by Milan as Pervis Estupiñán—will likely find it difficult to reach the same heights. But that doesn't mean he can’t still be a strong and valuable player for the team. It’s important to emphasize that Theo in 2021 and 2022 was one of those players who could have made football history.
Estupiñán, meanwhile, has his own story—and it’s a unique one. Many will have seen the full-back shine with De Zerbi’s Brighton. The Italian coach has always spoken highly of the Ecuadorian, as he said a few years ago:
"I have to admit that Pervis is one of the most important players for us because he started as a left-back, but you can also find him playing as a forward. He’s very intelligent; I think he’s one of our secrets. He has improved his first touch and passing, but I’m always pushing him to go further. If he becomes more precise in his first control and passes, I believe he can become one of the best left-backs in the world."
A very significant endorsement—especially considering what the coach from Foggia managed to achieve at Brighton. Estupiñán was one of his best weapons.
