Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Pervis Estupiñán, the experienced 28-year-old Ecuadorian full-back who currently plays for AC Milan in Italy.

This operation arises after the inconsistent performance shown by Matteo Ruggeri, who arrived from Atalanta but has not fully convinced the coaching staff. The South American defender's versatility, capable of playing as a wing-back or traditional full-back, fits surgically into the tactical schemes that Cholo Simeone usually proposes.

Atlético de Madrid's interest in the Ecuadorian defender

Atlético de Madrid continues to monitor the situation of the international player in Serie A, where he has not had the desired continuity since his millionaire transfer. According to information from MilanLive, the player has lost his status as an undisputed starter after playing just sixteen official matches during this football season.

With a goal and an assist to his name, the player's entourage is already exploring new avenues to regain the lost spotlight. Pervis Estupiñán would view a return to Spanish football very favorably, a league he knows perfectly and where he showcased his best competitive version.

The Madrid sports management understands that his current market value, around fourteen million euros, represents a market opportunity that is hard to ignore. Despite having a contract until 2030, the lack of minutes at San Siro could facilitate a negotiated exit this summer.

European competition for Pervis Estupiñán

However, Atlético de Madrid is not the only giant following the former Brighton player's footsteps in this transfer window. Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League emerges as a direct and dangerous competitor, especially after Roberto De Zerbi's recent appointment as coach.

The Italian coach maintains an excellent professional relationship with the full-back after his successful spell in England, which could tilt the balance towards London. Spurs' interest adds pressure to the offices of the Metropolitano, which will need to act swiftly if they want to secure the left-back's signing.

Pervis Estupiñán brings proven international experience, with over fifty appearances for the Ecuador national team, ensuring immediate performance in demanding competitions. Atlético de Madrid seeks precisely that maturity to provide greater defensive solidity to a backline that has struggled in rapid transitions.

A versatile piece for Simeone's system

The Ecuadorian's ability to push forward in attack without neglecting his defensive duties is a highly valued quality by the Atlético technical staff. His arrival would allow for reliable rotation and offer strategic variations depending on the opponent, seamlessly switching between defenses of four or five men.

Atlético de Madrid plans to initiate formal discussions once the season concludes, trusting that the player's desire for Spain will be decisive. The upcoming weeks are expected to be crucial in determining if the Milan club is willing to accept a loan with a mandatory purchase option.

The left wing-back represents that balance between physical power and tactical acumen that the rojiblanco club has missed in crucial moments. All signs point to Pervis Estupiñán's name being one of the main protagonists this summer on the front pages of Spanish sports newspapers.
